I followed that tutorial exactly. In fact, the way I got it to work was to swap out the hal_input line with the hal_joystick line from: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?HereIsHowToCheck
...and to rename the hal pins appropriately. Hal joystick works fine, but hal_input does not. I put EMC into debug mode to watch what was happening, and it could not find the device by parsing the lines that hal_input is supposed to be parsing. >Len -----Original Message----- From: John Thornton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 06, 2008 6:42 PM To: Enhanced Machine Controller EEMC" Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Logitech Gamepad I use the game pad and wrote an article on the steps I used to get it up and running here. http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant What did you add to your .hal file use the gamepad? and which file did you add it to?
