This was made for an XBox controller only.

Hi DazTheGas,

I'm using your plugin with TomL21's  XboxPMC and it works. Since I can view the Regs within Diagnostics->RegFile I
don't need the debug output in mach4's last error. Is there a way to turn off the debug messages ?

Can you be a bit more precise on what messages?

So no script or plugin exist for Mach4 which have a configuration screen like on the Mach3 plugin?

I have loaded the latest plugin and i can get everything to work except Button A Cycle Start
Rht Shoulder Button A works fine and I can see button A change state in the registry window but it does not perform a cycle start

Typed following into MDI
G1 F50 X1
G1 F50 X0

Press A and nothing
actually press Cycle Start and code exicutes with machine motion

Is there actually a way to edit/see the code in your plugin, i am new to MACH 4 and LUA but have written in C# before i retired

The example for the A does not run an mdi, a cycle start in general will start a loaded gcode file, you would need to change to something like

if GetXin("Btn_A") == 1 and A_Btn == false then
      scr.ExecMdi('mdi1')
      A_Btn = true
end

Below code only works if i disable (Comment out ) the EStop_Timer: Start(50) line
well at least it shows the running/stop stat of the controller
if i leave the timer stop line un commented then it works the first press of the trigger but soon as i release it then nothing anymore
got to be something stupid with the timer definition?????
