Hi Eric,

Your welcome.  Run it through its paces and keep me posted.  If you find nothing else wrong in the next week or so, then I'll have it uploaded as a new version to the Mach plugin page.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for pointing that problem out.  I have posted a new version for you to test.  It is in the same place as before and is named AjaxVer2.zip.  Please give it a try.  Besides responding to your jogging concerns, i made a couple of other mods to the INSIGS code.

Let me know what you find.

Hi Eric,

If we look at jogging problem only, what code is neccessary to shift in and out of jog?  I use:

Engine->IncrementalJog = true;
and I get the MainPlanner->m_Increment to determine the amount to Incrementally Jog
I also use Block.Format("G91G1 %s %.4f, CurrentLeftVertAxis,increment);
Code(Block);
if(WasG90) Code("G90");

Thanks
Lee

Hi Eric,

First of all, the source is not available - Sorry.  Second, I have uploaded a file to the Yahoo group Files section -VS2005-VS2008 Lee's Files.  It is named AjaxVer.zip.  It contains the XBox360Controller.DLL that I have modifiied to include using INSIGS.  Give it a try and see how it works.  Copy the DLL into the Mach3\Plugins folder and try it.  Let me know how it goes.

Hi Eric,

I am not familiar with ajaxcnc.  I assume you are talking about jogging with the thumbsticks.  If the thumbstick position is above a minimum value then  I send the following to Mach ---- Code("DOJOG");------

The plugin SDK conatains example plugins.  I used those (especially the joystick plugin) as a basis to develop my code.  The actual lines sent to Mach are:

Engine->Axis[CurrentAxis].Dec = false;
Engine->Axis[CurrentAxis].Jogging = true;
Engine->Axis[CurrentAxis].JoggDir = Direction;  
Code("DOJOG");

Direction is determined by evaluating which way the Thumbstick is pushed.

Hope that answers your question,


Lee

Hi Beerman,

The MadCatx gamepad has been added. I have uploaded the latest version to the Yahoo Mach site.  It is under Files\VS2005-VS2008\Lee's Files and is named Xbox360Controller.zip.  Just download it, expand it and copy the DLL into the \Plugins folder.  Don't worry about any folders under \Plugins

If there were 1000 buttons, it wouldn't be enough. I looked at using the triggers as pushbuttons and found that modifying the code to do that was more than I wanted to tackle.  I do have an idea for adding a few more buttons to the plugin.  But, it will take time to implement.  I will certainly let everyone know if and when I can do it.  Until then, you just have to be satisfied with the current configuration.

Glad you got it working.

To FXC;

Terry never responded with the results of the suggestions that I gave him.  You might PM him and see what his resolution was.  When you download and run the plugin install, does XBox360Controller.DLL appear in the C:\Mach3\Plugins folder?  If so, what are the attributes of the file?  Also check the attributes of the XML file.  Don't try renaming it unless you have turned on the "Show extensions" in Folder View options in XP.  Otherwise, it could wind up being something like XBox360Controller.DLL.txt and you wouldn't see the .txt ending.

The most likely causes are: 1. bad download - file came across corrupt, 2. \Plugins folder or DLL has incorrect attribute settings, 3. XML file has a problem, 4. Mach3 has a problem and needs to be reinstalled,  5 Access rights problem - Run Mach3 as Administrator.

That is about all I can think of.  Keep us posted on what you find.

Hi,

Is the file "XBox360Controller.DLL" in the \Plugins folder?  It needs to be there before Mach can see it.  It is inside the plugin when you run the plugin.  If it is not there, try downloading and running the plugin again.  For Windows7 you may have to pick "Run As Administrator"

Lee

I INSTALLED XBOX 360 CD. WINDOWS SEES IT OK. UPDATED DIRECTX 9.0C . DOWNLOADED PLUGIN. IN MACH3/PUGINS THE FULDER IS THERE. GO TO CONFIGER PLUGINS NO XBOX 360 PROGRAM.
