Does anyone have a good example of a HAL file for a joypad that I can
build on.
Here's what I want to do with a basic Logitech usb gamepad..
Use the left stick to control x axis, the right stick to control the y
axis, and the Hat to control the z axis. (I want one stick, one
axis, 'cause

Hello everyone,
I hope someone on this forum can offer some advice. I asked this

Perhaps I didnt word it clearly enough so can anyone on this forum

Your point is well taken, however I do use the MachMotion screen set

screen. I have started using touch screens in my very small shop (10 x

John,
FYI, I have done a couple of proof of principle touch screen layouts, but
that is as far as I got with them. In particular I was looking at using a
Lilliput 7 touch screen display (16x9 format), which is a bit different
from say a 17+ 4x3 format display typical of large CNC machines. In my

Just a thought - try changing that 0.08333 to 0.084 and see if it still

Hi,
is it possible to invert the DIR signal of the stepgen output of the
Mesa 5i20 board?
On my old (parport) config I had the DIR signal inverted so I was
looking for a similar option on the hostmot configuration.
Otherwise I'd have to open the controller-box to change one of the

still move to get to the count you intended).
