Hello. I installed a new xbox wireless joystick (entirely arbitrarily) on my laptop that controls my BobsCNC. I’m hoping to find an intuitive means through which to jog the machine, Home, Probe, and Set 0 on axes. It has two joysticks, a joystick “pad”, four large trigger buttons and some smaller buttons. Of course, X, Y, A B.
I have it working by setting up shortcuts in gSender to the joystick, but there are some behaviors that keep it from meeting my expectation.
-
There is no continuous jog from the joysticks. Only the small pad.
-
Trying to use combinations is essentially impossible. I could try to bind a combination 10 times, only being successful once or twice. If I can’t time the release of both to be EXACT, the second to be released is used. If it were only a setup issue, I could live with it, but it happens when trying to invoke the feature, as well.
-
Have found no way to bind anything to Home or Initiate Probe.
Should I be looking at another solution entirely, such a specialty CNC keypad? It’s super inconvenient to use the laptop.
Thank you.
