This was made for an XBox controller only.

Hi DazTheGas,

I'm using your plugin with TomL21's  XboxPMC and it works. Since I can view the Regs within Diagnostics->RegFile I
don't need the debug output in mach4's last error. Is there a way to turn off the debug messages ?

Helmut

Can you be a bit more precise on what messages?

DazTheGas

So no script or plugin exist for Mach4 which have a configuration screen like on the Mach3 plugin?

I have loaded the latest plugin and i can get everything to work except Button A Cycle Start
Rht Shoulder Button A works fine and I can see button A change state in the registry window but it does not perform a cycle start

Typed following into MDI
G1 F50 X1
G1 F50 X0

Press A and nothing
actually press Cycle Start and code exicutes with machine motion

Is there actually a way to edit/see the code in your plugin, i am new to MACH 4 and LUA but have written in C# before i retired

The example for the A does not run an mdi, a cycle start in general will start a loaded gcode file, you would need to change to something like

if GetXin("Btn_A") == 1 and A_Btn == false then
      scr.ExecMdi('mdi1')
      A_Btn = true
end

Do you have the code you used in the part 1 video for the xbox controller and is there a part 2 i could not find it

Below code only works if i disable (Comment out ) the EStop_Timer: Start(50) line
well at least it shows the running/stop stat of the controller
if i leave the timer stop line un commented then it works the first press of the trigger but soon as i release it then nothing anymore
got to be something stupid with the timer definition??

NEVER MIND
Stupid mistake

start and stop instead of Start ans Stop

It gets us all at some time Lua is case sensitive
