I'm experiencing a funny one while using the SS. When jogging with the keyboard, the axis will stop imediately.
When jogging using the zbox360 the axis won't stop unless i move the stick all the way to the other side and then the axis may reverse. Speed dosn't matter, even at a crawl. Seems like there is not much of a transitiion
between stick left or right.
Any experience around this or suggestions?
Is it a smoothstepper thing??

Hi Rich and Chaoticone,

First of all, I have made the changes to the plugin that will allow reversing the direction.  I would like a couple of volunteers to test it for a few days and let me know if there is any problem with it before I give it to Artsoft for posting. Please email me and I'll send you a copy.

Things that can cause your problem are:
1. using version 1 of the plugin.  Make sure you are using the one on the MACH site
2. enabling the Shuttlepro at the same time as the XBox controller.  Mach3 wants only 1 thing at a time to control it
3. setting the slow jog rate really low
4. using a defective controller or one other than the Microsoft XBox360 controller

Try going to Control Panel - Game Controllers - Properties - Settings Tab - Calibrate - select Display Raw data check box.  The range of motion should be 0 to 65535.  If your max number is less than this then it is the controller. Let me know

Thanks
Lee

Hi Dan,

I have placed a copy on the Yahoo Mach3 forum in the files section.  Look in VS2005 - VS2008 / Lee's Files.  You should see the zip file there.

I do not know of any way to disable the timeout. Sorry.

Thanks Lee, I won't be able to test. I don't have a xbox controller and I'm pushed for time right now. Maybe I can later but hopefully some of the others will test this for you sooner than I can.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the info. The reversed axis mods seem to work great. Good going as
other users should find it helpfull.

I do have a few issues when using it along with the SmoothStepper but lets find out the
cause before posting anymore about it.
