Hi, everybody! Maarten from Amsterdam here. I have hooked up a generic USB gamepad to Mach3 using Keygrabber. It works fine, but after I run my Gcode Mach3 does not respond to the gamepad anymore. Does anybody have an idea what is going on? My Gcode files are scripted by Madcam for Rhino with the Mach3 metric postprocessor.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Daniel,
thanks for your input. I think it is a windows issue: In windows/settings/ game controllers/  it shows the controller has become unresponsive. Unplugging and waiting for it to re-register makes the gamepad come to life again.
But this even happens each time when I enter a manual command so its rather cumbersome.  Win is XP. Old, I know, but I need the parralel port.
I tried other USB ports too, always the same.
regards, Maarten Visser
