I think it is like wine. Getting better all the time even if it's just sitting there.

Looking good Matt. I think yours may be newer than mine. When I got it some of the components had been robbed for another machine. So I spent a few hours cutting wires and stacking bits on the floor.    The only things I'll be using of the original controls are all the limit switches, servo, encoder and power supply for tool chain. Do you have any docs on yours by chance?

LOL Graham, so true.

Sure can, just write it all down incase you make a mistake. Swap the pin number with y direction and z direction. Then swap pin numbers for y step and z step.

Mach3 and G-Rex / Re: Anyone using the wireless Xbox controller for G100

« on: March 16, 2008, 10:31:07 PM »

Well whatda, The reason I dont recommend it is because their is allways a possibility of interferance. This isn't a remote control truck. If a trucker keys up his insanely powerful cb, It could cause a mess. Someone could get hurt. And I use the cb as an example, lots of things can cause problems. Wireless phones, microwaves, etc. But, if you feel safe doing it that way, let me know how it does. It is an interesting way of doing it. I thought it would be good for some laughs my self, but went with remote assist instead. LOL I use a recoil gamepad I picked up at wallmart. I don't remember how well if at all it worked with the G100. I think one problem you'll have with the wireless is the drivers. Don't think it will communicate without the drivers and going thru keygrabber, that in itself will cause problems (installing the drivers for the gamepad). I don't know if you could use the joy stick plug in to do it.

This is on the Program run screen. Also, might want to hit the tab key and look at the MPG. Tab will also close it.
