Mach and the Joystick

[CNCadmin]

I was using a joystick today and it works very well, my question is can I assign the buttons?

Use the Key grabber found in the mach2 folder. This will enable you to assign the buttons to perform functions.

On the Yahoo Furums mach2, there is a joystick.exe file.. here is the text doc for it, looks like predefined keys already.

Play station 2 controller.. 2 sticks.. 4 triggers, POV hat buttons, select, Start, 4 function buttons on right
Using a smart joy adapter to usb. Program works with Windows directx reads.
This may work with other usb joysticks.
Much easier for a disabled person to use a stick they can sit in thier lap.

Software uses a windows common dialog procedure to transfer the keystrokes into the mouse buffer and the keyboard buffer
Free software, send a thankyou note to ibewgypsie@hotmail.com if you like.
