FAQs / Keygrabber wont open!!

« on: May 14, 2015, 10:05:56 AM »

I got it to open one time (first time) and tried to configure a joystick with it. It didnt recognize the device so I closed it.
I want to try it on a different device and now I cant even get it to open. all I get is a blink of the mouse pointer. I can get the icon to show up in the task bar but clicking that does the same.
I am running a brand new toshiba laptop with barely anything on it. Mach3 and other apps open normal and have tried open it without anything alse open.
Any ideas?

Also having some trouble with jogging in Mach3. It often locks up and I have to restart to get jogging back.

General Mach Discussion / Trouble with jogging

« on: May 13, 2015, 10:09:32 AM »

I have been using Mach3 for about 3 months.
Often times when I try jogging to set up the origin for a file the jog screen locks up and I have to either wait about 5 minutes, reset or sometimes have to restart Mach to get the jog controlls working. All I do with the jogging sceen is switch from cont. to step and use the arrow keys.
I like Mach3 but this is getting annoying
I do notice some back emf noise comming from the steppers. Could this be screwing things up?

Thanks

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Configuring Logitech Joystick in Keygrabber or Joypad plugin??

« on: May 13, 2015, 09:27:20 AM »

Hello, I have a Logitech 3D pro joystick with 12 programmable buttons.
Windows rcognizes it and I have it caliberated, but I cannot get Keygrabber to work it. Says the device does not support axes.
Is it possible to configure it in the Joypad plugin setup? Or is the Joypad just for gamepad type controllers?

Thanks
