Good day all,
Trying to help a friend whose WinXp box went down and now has a win10 box. I have been able to remote in and set up mach3 and get it to run. He and I use to have the xBox360controller on XP machines and loved the way Lee allowed us to set it up. I have a win10 machine now so I can help him out.
I have installed the latest version and the vendor and product id's show up in the boxes in both his and mine. I get no errors when I load Mach3 and the plugin is registered and has a green check mark. The buttons are configured the way we used to have them.
The problem. I can get my controller to work with win10 and Mach3 but his does not. The wireless controller for him is always connecting to the upper right instead of the upper left. I thought I read somewhere that it must connect to the upper left.
Thoughts on what is causing his to connect upper right and does it make a difference? Any other thoughts as to why his is not connecting?
TIA

If you have 1 controller connected, then the upper left light is on meaning this controller is number one. If you connect a second one then the upper right light is the only one on etc. This is for Windows not Mach. So, it looks like the remote user has a Windows 10 that thinks it is the 2nd controller. Why - could be that he has 2 controllers hooked up. Could be that he has another device that Windows thinks is a controller. The device manager should indicate if there are 2 devices.
It doesn't matter id 1 controller is wireless and the other is wired.
