Title: Griffin Powermate?
Post by: ckm on May 16, 2007, 04:55:00 PM

I know this has been discussed many times, but I have one on my desk and I was wondering if it ever worked as an MPG?  I just want to have it move the table and be able to change axis with a press....

Thx.

Chris.

Hi Chris:


  It will work as a velocity jog, but not a great mpg..

Right, understood.  Is there any way to get the 'click' to switch axis?   I tried using the plugin, but it didn't work in the latest stable of Mach3.

The reason I'm asking all this is that I have one and I'd like to use it and I don't have any more inputs....

Thx,

Chris.

wondering if anyone else has had problems with the griffin powermate, I just got mine installed it gave it a spin but the axis jog not so good  very jittery and unpredictable, also when joggin the axis with smooth action on the power mate the axis joggs erratic and in both directions???  kinda wierd, Any help would be greatly appreciated.
