Title: Logitech Wingman
Post by: garyn on March 20, 2009, 03:48:47 PM

Has anyone sucessfully used a Logitech Wingman game pad as a remote control with Mach 3?  I am wanting to remotely jog all axes, move to 0,0, and start the cutting program.

I haven't but I would think the set up would be similar to the one in this thread.

I read completely through all the posts you referenced.  I saw the question asked a couple of times, "Where do I find keygrabber?" but no one saying where to find it.  The posts suggests it is discussed in the Mach 2 pdf manul 6.11.  I get an error message when trying to open that manual in the documentation section of the Mach website.  These posts also suggest that it might be found in the screen sets, #4, maybe, but not sure what I am looking for.  Guess I need something more specific.

I am totally new to this kind of thing, so I guess I'm not sure what i'm doing.  The keygrabber will give me the keystroke codes which in turn are programmed into my remote, in my case the Logitech Wingman.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Keygrabber is an executable found in your Mach3 folder. This is where you will configure your emulations. From there you open your Mach profile and the gamepad should work. Also, you can edit you shortcut to you Mach profile and it will then open your profile through keygrabber when you click on your desktop shortcut. That is covered in the thread.
