Heres a different kind of plugin for you using an X360 controller that populates registry values so you can write your own scripts for it, if you have the registry plugin loaded you can see the values.

I will try and get some video`s on usage as soon as possible but is straight forward, create a lua panel from the screen editor and make sure you select that its hidden and in the code add as an example

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()

local X360_PNL = mcLuaPanelParent;


    function GetXin(xinput)
    local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, string.format("mcX360_LUA/%s", xinput))
    return mc.mcRegGetValueString(hreg)
    end


X360_timer = wx.wxTimer(X360_PNL)

    X360_PNL:Connect(wx.wxEVT_TIMER,   function (event)

    if GetXin("Btn_A") == "1" then
     -- do something after button A is pressed
    end
   
    if GetXin("Btn_B") == "1" then
     -- do something after button B is pressed
    end
 
    end)

    X360_timer:Start(100)
You should get the gist ;-)

Well... First shaky steps in LUA... but... IT WORKS!!
I have acceleration control on ZAxis for jogging...

Do you know a better way to do this:
mc.mcJogSetRate(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, tonumber(string.format("%s", rthy)));
because
mc.mcJogSetRate(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, tonumber(rthy));
does not work for me...
...or should i use another method for :" mc.mcRegGetValueString(hreg)".


Anyway here is my Hidden LUA Panel CODE... And i have only run it on the simulator.....
Needs some error handling etc.... adding X,Y and A axis. That will be a start!!

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()

local X360_PNL = mcLuaPanelParent;

    function GetXin(xinput)
    local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, string.format("mcX360_LUA/%s", xinput))
    return mc.mcRegGetValueString(hreg)
    end

X360_timer = wx.wxTimer(X360_PNL)
    X360_PNL:Connect(wx.wxEVT_TIMER,   function (event)

    if GetXin("Btn_A") == "1" then
        mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "X360_BTN_A Pressed")
    end

    if GetXin("Btn_X") == "1" then
        mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "X360_BTN_X Pressed")
    end

    local rthy;
    rthy = GetXin("RTH_Y_Val");

    if rthy > "0" then
        mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, string.format("X360_RTH_X_UP/%s", rthy));
        mc.mcJogSetRate(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, tonumber(string.format("%s", rthy)));
        mc.mcJogVelocityStart(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, mc.MC_JOG_POS);

    end  

  
    if rthy < "0" then
        mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, string.format("X360_RTH_X_DOWN/%s", rthy));
        mc.mcJogSetRate(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, tonumber(string.format("%s", rthy)));
        mc.mcJogVelocityStart(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, mc.MC_JOG_NEG);

    end    

    if rthy == "0" then
        mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "X360_RTH_X_CENTER");
        mc.mcJogSetRate(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, tonumber(string.format("%s", rthy)));
        mc.mcJogVelocityStop(inst, mc.Z_AXIS);
    end
 
    end)

    X360_timer:Start(100)


1:st Version of my script.
Thanks Joakim (Auth of Playstation Controller plugin for mach 3 for security idea )

Changes JogRate on different stick position, and requires both RS and LS to be pressed to activate jogging.

I will make it more efficient (codewise) and reduce number of used lines.
I will also be working on E-Stop and Machine enable and some other stuff maybe

Feel Free to try it out!
If you have trouble running it check Axis references. In my old profile i have to reference "Z-Axis" and in my new i have to reference "mc.AXIS0".

Good Luck!

end

DazTheGas

I can see that it would be good to avoid hammering the mc.mcSignal...()
Any other point?
Should i use mc.mcSignalSetState instead of mc.mcJogVelocityStart(inst, RTHY_MapToMashineAxis, mc.MC_JOG_POS); ?

By using the mcSignalSetState on the axis it gives me the advantage of using the same routine whether I am in cont or inc mode, by using mcJogVelocityStart you will have to write another routine for mcJogIncStart.

DazTHeGas

GR8! Then it is the way i want it to be for now.
Adding Inc mode will be done later.......maybe....

Some more progress...

I am having one issue... Pressing the X-Button will only do machine enable the second time i press it.. Do you know how this can be?

Ok... I added a sleep and it does the trick...
