Hi Gerry, was hoping you can help me. I'm setting up my xbox controller and want to use a button for simple auto zero. I used macro M881 and worked but than looks to auto zero on fixed plate. I want the xbox controller button to work the same simple auto zero like on my screenset.

Thanks,
Dan

Oh sorry, I guess I was lucky to have a serial port on my comp. I think any converter to RS-485 should work like Matty said in the beginning of thread. I suspect the problems some were having with this plugin had nothing to do with which converter they were using or electrical noise.

I think I discovered what's causing most of the users of this plugin problems. If your at the point where Mach is communicating( pd001=2 pd002=2) with plugin and problems begin with start of spindle, than go to your ports and pins/ inputs and disable( mainly Estop and limit switches or any active high signal Mach is continually searching for) all for testing.

I think most will find everything working without a glitch and this is where the trouble is. If your at this point post back and we can discuss my work around or a possible fix.

BTW this is the RS-485 converter I'm using, and it cost less than $6.00

Received my rs-485 converter and was running my spindle through Mach 3 in less than 30 minuets thanks to this thread!!! I came across a few bugs that have to be worked out but spindle on/off and spindle speed works great. Thanks for the great plugin Matty!
