General Mach Discussion / Re: "Analog Joystick"?
« on: May 26, 2006, 08:26:41 PM »
So Cal, I used to live in Manhattan Beach baby, now THATS some nice country.

I got the little bastard working by using Keygrabber with Mach 2, I had to uninstall the Logitech software. Haven't tried it with Mach 3 yet. But it was sweet seeing that gantry fly back and forth with the toggle of a thumb joystick. Good suggestion!

I actually just got a job in El Segundo. I'm waiting for my security clearance to go through before I can start working, once that happens I'll be back down in the South Bay, just in time for summer!

That's exactly what I did.
I know that the computer is recognizing the controller because when the little logitech test window came up all the buttons worked. I'm gonna try using the controller with Mach 2 and see if that works. Cheers
I'm in Sonoma County.

Thanks Sid, so you didn't have to do anything special in Mach to get the dpad to work? I'll be waiting to here about your config. I owe you a beer.

Sid,
 Thanks for all the help. I still can't get it to work. I created the profile like you suggested. When I start Mach 3 with the Logitech program running I cannot jog, even with the keyboard. When I shut the logitech program down and restart Mach 3 I can jog with the keyboard. Did you experience this? This happens to me on two different machines. I noticed your other thread about joysticks. Are you using 1024Joystick.set? If so, is it the first or second file that Brian posted? Do you just stick that file in the Mach 3 directory or do you have to do something else? Thanks again.

Hi,
I'm having trouble with this same problem. Do you configure the joystick in Mach3 or in the software that comes with the joystick? Thanks

Dude,
 I just got that D-pad you suggested. I'm having trouble setting it up though. Do you do the configuration inside Mach3 or in the software that comes with the controller? Are you using the controller with Mach3 or Mach2? Thanks

Hi,
 I have Mach3 and want to jog my machine with a joystick. Page 21 of the mach3 manual says that "Mach 3 will work with any Windows compatible "analog joystick"". Why the quote marks around "analog"? Does the joystick have to be analog to work with mach3? These are harder to get these days (besides 'd-pad' types) and digital joysticks are cheap and plentiful. Also I have no game port on my machine, only usb. Will the stick still work if I get a game port type joystick and put a USB adapter on it? Thanks in advance.

No inputs whatsoever. Strangely enough I was able to enter BIOS with the keyboard. I'm not sure what that means. I tried starting windows in safe mode, but the keyboard and mouse will still not work. I cannot connect a conventional keyboard to my machine. Can you think of which step in the optimisation file may have done this? If I knew I could leave that step out next time I try.

I installed Mach3 on my machine (which can use only USB mice and keyboards) and tried to "optimise" it by following the instructions in the optimise file on the downloads page of the artsoft website. I got through step 10 "Enable DMA on all Disk Controllers" and the system asked me to reboot. I did and now I can't use my mouse or keyboard. I don't want to reinstall windows but the machine is useless without any user input. As I said before I am only able to use usb mice and keyboards with this system. Can somebody give me a suggestion? Thanks
