ShuttleXpress Plugin

Hello,

May I ask, any chance of a Shuttle Xpress plugin (or is the "pro" plugin version able to be used with the shuttle Xpress?)

Not sure if it will work. It is easy enough to test - even in Demo mode. Plug it in and activate the plug in. The center knobs are already programmed. See if they make it move. You will likely need all / most of the available buttons for axis control. The Shuttle Pro has just enough buttons to make it a pretty good pendant.

Also, let us know if it works with your test.

Yeah, I plugged it in (without windows drivers loaded... Same as mach3, where it does work (I am running a dual setup)), enabled the plugin (via plugins),

And pressed all 5 buttons, and the inner and outer scroll wheel and it did nothing (no pop-up or acknowledgement it even exists)

Restart Mach 3 and it functions perfectly.

Did you try loading the driver for the shuttle express? If that does not work try loading the driver for the shuttlePro. The shuttlepro is working on my machine, but I have the driver for the shuttlepro loaded.

In fact, I had done some testing prior to loading a working shuttlepro plugin for Mach4. When I loaded the plugin I still had some of the keystroke commands in the Shuttlepro. The machine would execute both commands at the same time when the button/wheel was selected. That made life very interesting!!!! For instance the X and Y axis would move at the same time.
