Yura_74:

Thanks.

You can inset the VB code:

Code: [Select]

END ' <--- Stops code execution here!To stop executing the script at any place. Try this code:

Code: [Select]

'========Go to Home======
If SL And SR And Button = PW then
  Message ""Let's go to zero on the machine coordinates""
  DoOEMButton (138)
  End ' <--- Stops code execution here!
End If

'======Ref All step by step=====
If SR And Button = PW Then
  Message "Ref All step by step"
  DoButton( 24 )
  DoButton( 23 )
  DoButton( 22 )
  DoButton( 25 )
  End ' <--- Stops code execution here!
End If

There is nicer ways to do it, but this way your code are nearly unchanged.

The JoyPad plugin Home at http://joakim.dk/joypad has the latest version that should fix that problem.

The stepping speed is the same as when you uses the keyboard to step - same settings in M3 applies.

Hi Paul.

It is possible to implement dead-zone, but there have only been few requests for this feature.

Plugin development is time consuming, has expenses and only very few donations... Sorry.
The plugin is free as-is.

Yes it is a long thread... :-)

The only center/scale/dead-zone setup for axis is in Windows Control Panel, Game controller calibration/setup.
Maybe a workaround can be found in a third party Gamepad/JoyPad driver for Windows for your Gamepad.

And the plugin is activated and enabled in Mach3 plugin setup?
And the plugin is the only plugin in plugins directory of Mach3?

If yes, everything should work...

Is the GamePad joysticks working and calibrated in Control Panel -> Game Controllers?

The reason for mentioning the Mach3/controller is that some controllers work and some don't. Testing with the PP eliminates problems with the controller driver.

Are you using the Parallel Port (PP) or some controller for motion control?

The actual jogging of motors is handled by the motion control driver, not Mach3.
Having more than one Joystick/Gamepad plugin active/installed at the same time will not work as they compete for control.

This message is shown if Windows reports that there are no active GamePad attached to the system and JoyPad plugin is enabled.

"Activate" the GamePad before starting Mach or ignore the message - on my installation the message disappears after a few seconds and the plugin will work when you use the GamePad.

There are no presets or internal limits on any axe in the plugin. Valid axe scale range are 0 to 100% of the maximum speed for the given axe (Mach Motor Tuning menu). This value is only reduced by the percentage set in the jogging fly-out dialog.

Have you calibrated the Rumble Pad in Windows to get center, dead zone and scale corrected?

As all axis are treated equally in the plugin (same algorithm), the limit on your Z axe must be somewhere else. Try restarting Mach after setting the scale to 100% in Config Plugin. Are the scale values still at 100% after restart of Mach? (could be write-protection on Mach profile).
