I have an older videogame controller with a usb end on it for PC gaming and was wondering if there is a way to get it to work with Mach to jog my axis around on my router??
I have a small number pad right now that works but it is kind of a pain because the cable is a bit short like me


Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,

Try out the joystick plugin from Art Fenerty. Should work with any controller that is compatible with your version of Windows.

Download from: http://www.machsupport.com/plugins.php

Thanks Jan,
I searched on the Mach forum but didn't know what I was looking for!

I down loaded the file and hope to install it tomorrow.

Thanks for the link and your time,

Also look at using Keygrabber to map the buttons and joysticks on the gamepad to whatever function you want.
Once Keygrabber is up and running to suite your tastes, you can modify the Mach3 shortcut to start Keygrabber "automagically".
I believe Keygrabber is included with Mach3 and should be in the C:/Mach3 folder if you installed Mach3 to the C drive.

I currently use one of the Logitech game pads and it works great. While for my mill I would like to have some more buttons, it has been working very well for me.
A nice feature of Keygrabber is that you can set one button to change pages and then you can have 4 pages of buttons on the same gamepad. On each page the same button can have the same or different functions.

Let me know if you need more help.

Help! I don't know what I'm doing.......LOL

I down loaded the plugin for joystick by Art its a M3p it says. I then saved it to my flash card and took it out to the shop computer and droped it in to the mach folder in the c drive.

I tried to open plug ins and addons but did not see it anywhere...

How do I configure this?
Please answer me like your talking to a 7 year old because this stuff is still pretty new to me:drowning:

Thanks for any help

Hi Nick,
Drop the joystick plugin in the plugins folder. You will find it in the c:\Mach3 folder.
Then young man, open Mach3 and go to the top left of the page and you will see file, then config. Click config and go down to the config plugins and click on that. When that opens, make sure you enable the joystick plugin.

See if that helps.
Mike
