Thank you very much for the reply JohnHaine!  I am proceeding as suggested however after the DirectX install I cannot find "xbox.dll".  Where is that file?  Thanks.

Mach4 Plugins / XBox 360 Plugin - Can't get it to work or recognize

« on: December 29, 2022, 03:43:20 PM »

Hello All,

Trying to use the plugin made by @dazthegas for the XBox 360 Controller.  Have some weird issues, wondering if someone can give some advice.  I have the plugin in the plugins directory.  I can activate the plugin from the Configure -> Control->Plug in menu. However here is where it gets a bit weird for me.  I do NOT see the plugin under Configure->Plugins.  Also it does not show me that the XBox 360 Controller is active in the message bar. I am on Windows 10 running the latest version of Mach4.  Another weird thing is that if I check the controller from Diagnostic->Regfile it DOES show signals from the controller.  I am sure it is something simple, but I can't seem to figure this one out.  I've reinstalled, restarted, etc... no joy. 

Thanks!

Hi Segio007. Sorry for the delay. I checked and what fixed my issue is having each homing switch on a different signal.  Doesn't look like I can post an image on my mobile device. I use a different controller but I think the function is the same within Mach4

Hi Sergio007.

It's been a while and I  need to refresh my memory. However my machine is running the y axis with 2 motors and one is slaved. So I solved my original issue in this post. When I get back to my machine I'll take some screenshots of my config. Maybe that can help you. I *think* I solved it by mapping both motors to the same home switch signal. Be careful with that advice until I check my config.

Thanks gorf23!

Yup wired on pin 19.  Usually I don't have a problem.  It seems at times either Mach4 or Pokeys "looses itself"  I can't quite figure out how or why.

Mach4 General Discussion / MACH4 G31 MOTION WILL NOT STOP ON PROBE CONTACT

« on: August 27, 2021, 01:40:32 PM »

Hello,

I am running Mach4 with Pokeys57CNC

Sorry to post a new topic on G31.  I've tried searching the forum archives and can't find a similar problem / solution.

The problem is when I run this gcode command in the MDI (as a test) the z axis does not stop on probe contact.

G31 Z-10 F50

I can run probing with no issues using the Probing Wizard.  Also the Touch light indicates contact during the move (using the gcode above).

Not sure what I am missing.

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks.

That's a good  one stevehuck.  I'll mark it with marker next time and see if it moves. 

I'm chasing other gremlins at the moment.  Seems like my entire system is a moving target of stepper motor issues (or communication to them)

Thanks,

Scott
