Mach4 Plugins / Re: mcX360 Plugin for Lua

Are you or anyone reading this thread willing to help me with getting Mach4 set up to use a X360 controller?
Curt

I recently downloaded Mach4 and wanted to use my Xbox controller with it.  A big thanks to DazTheGas on his videos and code snippets.  My wife was able to put together Daz's code with a couple of tweaks to get it working the way I wanted.

I've noticed a lot of people asking for the same thing I was looking for:  the LUA code already typed up and ready to dump into Mach4.  So my wife and I put together a zip file (attached) with some pre-configured code and quick guides.  The guides will give you an idea of how to put the code into Mach4, and will show you which buttons are configured for the Xbox controller depending on which of the scripts you decide to install. 

So keep watching Daz since he's really an expert on the whole Mach4/Lua code topic, but hopefully, someone else will find the pre-configured code helpful - especially if you aren't a coder.

I  too had problems when I loaded NFSTurn (10/5/14) but after a clean install of mach3 W/addons, an uncorrupted Machlic.dat, and Wizlic.dat  (most of my problem) I was finally up and running. Now, I have the wizard addon licence, the problem I had was when I clicked "run" in nfswizard , the G-code wouldn't post, nor the tool path. Instead I had to manually select the file, "New Program.tap". The file dose append but would not post untill selected.I hope this maybe helpful. I allso am  new to cnc but I have a wife who has a ton of programing experience and she can get to the hard coding and play. I am purely a Hobby CNC machinist and will  not illegally modify or sell any hacks, but maybe look at your file dir. for any errors. I had a few files that were duplicated moved and .dll links broken. In the end I can tell you everything does work, if installed "Files named properly I.E. capps where they belong,"properly it all works.

NFSturn.set has somehow lost all the colored boxes and the screen has just the text and text boxes? The strange thing is that this is happening on my desktop PC and my cnc PC. I have reloaded the zipped
files but I still have the boxes missing. What did I miss?
