Title: configure joystick in Mach3
Post by: progress on September 06, 2014, 05:55:33 PM

Hello,

I have connected a 2 axis joystick in the pokeys, with 2 potentiometers (resistor)
In the page of plugin inside Mach3 I'm not able to find the rigt DRO to set to use the joystick to move the axis.
I need to move axis incremental, eg. i turn the joystick for 30% the X move at 30% of velocity

I hope to explain right

thanks in advance for help

great, now works, thanks.

Another question about: I have a switch on the joystick, can I use this to enable/disable the joystick function?  How i can do this? Someone know the OEM button to check?

thanks

it looks like it is not possible to enable/disable the Pokeys joystick function with an OEM button or a pokeys input.
At least I didn't get it.  ???

I've asked it for safety, because I can touch it moving my hand and make a disaster
