Want to Make a Hand Pendant from a Gamepad

[bdsorcic]

Hi, I am using Mach3 and recentlly added the Xbox 360 controller as my pendant. I'm also using the Mach3 plugin written specifically for it. It is working fine, however I can not find the correct wording for assigning the "auto tool zero" to one of the buttons on the Joystick.
Could you plese help me on that one?
Thanks!!

Thanks for the lead. I got it to work. You just need to go into config / plugin. Then you will see the 360 controller. And it work right away. $23 bucks at walmart and you have a joystick.
