MSI Force GC30V2 got it from amazon. Has a bunch of buttons I would like to assign task. But program does not allow. Xbox schilling does not have options to program any more to add . works great he triggers that are noton schilling thanks for the help

OK So reading through the shilling manual, you can call macros with button presses.
Make a Macro to turn on/off your spindle and call it with a button. It all in section 4.6.1.
Hope this helps.

I have all the shilling buttons full with task. since shilling was made the newer controllers added buttons . I have done some experimenting with macro and they work well with buttons the are on the setup map. was hoping to set macro for trigger buttons that are not on shilling setup thanks for the help Charlie

do you have any inputs not being used?
-
no

I also have a joystick that i can use , but not able to do macro there

One thing I'd double-check is whether Mach is actually communicating with the motion controller. I've seen cases where all the settings looked correct, but the plugin wasn't loading properly or the controller wasn't being detected. Also worth checking the diagnostics screen for any status messages or fault indicators. Sometimes the issue ends up being something simple that's easy to overlook.
