The Lathe screen set has it on the main page.  Steal it from there.

Not sure if this is by design or not but using the controller 'cycle start' starts the loaded gcode file even if the mdi is focused.

It also disables keyboard jogging in the X Axis.  Y and Z are still keyboard functional.  I'll go to lunch now and let you guys be ;^)

I believe you have to set the minimum higher for any joystick movement.  When you use them for micro movement and release they do not always release all of the way to zero.  So rather than 0 to 100 (or254) 0 to 10 ignore, and start your scale from 11 to 100(254).

Same with diagonal movement.  Try to move slowly left and if you aren't exact in the left you may get some up or down movement included.  Either that or lock out diagonal, optional.

Been testing 4612 on my laptop using simulation device. 

I select left joystick left as X rapid revered. Int/Cont Jog is grayed out. Next left joystick right, select X rapid, Int/Cont now enabled, check.
do the same for Y and right joystick for Z. Select other functions for buttons including right shoulder for X BOX Inc/Cont Momentary.

Take left joystick left and xdro increases by increment. left joystick right and xdro increases by increment.  Same action for Y and Z, positive movement only.  Hold the right shoulder button and move the joysticks and each move continuously in the expected direction.

Go back in to configure and it does not retain settings for joystick but does for buttons.

No time to work with it yet but the new screens look good.
Thanks for adding the diagnostics page to Lathe.
 
However...you still have the Xdro in lathe as read only!

Has support for multiple probes been added yet for the Mach4 plugin?

Thanks,

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Probe 2 setup, Pokeys57cnc

« on: February 15, 2021, 02:58:53 PM »

i didn't understand from yours question ,do you already have one prob work well now you want add one more?
as i know pokeys support only one probe
you can try connect both prob same input ,in any case they not working same time
**why you use printer connector?

Certainly makes sense to use the same probe connection for both probes.  Problem is that one is NO and the other is NC.  I guess I could add a button script that changes the probe signal to high or low as needed and a 2 position switch to select which probe is active.  More things to forget and go wrong.

I thought I should be able to use any free input to use for another probe signal g32.1, g32.2, g32.3....but I have been wrong before.
