Title: keygrabber
Post by: tubular2000 on March 15, 2009, 01:35:28 PM

hi,

i try to install a joystick on my lathe. i use mach 3 3.042.020 under xp with directx 9. i tried using the joystick plugin that instaled with mach3, nothing moving. i tried dowloading the available plugin in the dowload area, no moving. then i tried using keygrabber, but it seems that it is not working properly. when i try to set it up, i cannot stop it. it is always grabbing even when clicking stop grabbing. i can see my joystick is there and available, i can set up the buttons, but when i switch to the joystick tab, it is scanning the axis at high speed so i cannot set it up properly. then when i click open mach3, it opens up but nothing working. when in keygrabber, if i it the testing menu a small window opens and it freeze. i downloaded a new copy of keygrabber(4.0.0.11) and replaced in the mach folder with the same result.

any advise?
