Title: Shuttle Pro2
Post by: gfilyaw on July 04, 2010, 02:20:19 PM
I have a shuttle pro 2 that I have setup with Mach3, I have made a zero touch probe and it works great. Does anyone have a script
for the shuttle pro that will engage the Auto Zero Tool button for Mach3

I think there needs to be short cut key for that function.

Here I have done screen set with short cuts for functions for laser cross hair and touch off and they work on my Logitech game pad.

Place your Auto Tool Zero script in a text file and name it M1001.m1s or any number that suits you.

Put that in the macro folder for the profile you use.  Mach3Mill probably.

Then set the Shuttle Pro button of your choice to call that macro.

And while you are at it, change your button script to  Code "M1001"

From then on any alterations you make to the macro will be consistent, wherever they are called from.

Thanks , that really works great.

Now how do I do the same to a button on the shuttle pro to start the video window?

This is the code I use to open the video window, SendKeys "+%(P)V"

I have never tried to do this from the Shuttle but the same process should work.
