Trying with P1AS here. I have it installed on three other (non-tormach) machines.
I can add nothing to this except another installation failure.
Double click didn't work so I manually moved the files to the named directories.
My first attempt resulted in the computer going thorugh its start up and then stopping at the screen that says you can now power down your computer.
I paniced and carefully reversed everything I had done. The computer then booted normally again. I was able to unbreak my machine.
After reading this thread "make install" helped except that for some reason the make file did not have the full file name in mine. I corrected the file name and "make install" worked. I did the other edits, and got the same result listed above. The second time I just # commented out the HALFILE line in the .ini file.
I think the PathPilot install file and perhaps this thread are missing something. Neither does anything with either file in the driver directories. Is there a step I am missing that says copy driver file to...
I really want to go to a "conventional" pendant. I've used the Tormach relabled shuttle for several months now and I just DO NOT like it. I don't use all the functions on the P1AS, but I really like the smooth easy jogging it gives me in my hand while nose deep in the machine cabinet with my other machines. I've currently got three of them on Mach based machines and they work fine. Even the Chinese HB04 pendant is easier to use (it has its issues) than the Tormach pendant that has to sit on a shelf and has no display. Also if there is an easy way to switch it from jog to step I don't know what it is. I have to use the onscreen controls.
TORMACH IF YOUR ARE LISTENING, Some of us just don't like your shuttle thing. I bought one and paid the bribe. Now can I please have use of a real pendant.
