    Could someone help me setup a USB gamepad?

    I've followed the wiki for the simple method and I can't get it to work.
    http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emc...Remote_Pendant

    Could someone help me? I can email my .hal files and the error file that EMC puts out.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike,

    I see this is an old thread, but did you gt it working? I followed the same directions, and after much cussing and head scratching managed to get it working a few days ago.

    I am happy to let you know what I did if required.
    I am in no way an expert and may have done it wrong but it works.

    Regards,

    Jayson
    Quick... catch all the smoke so I can stuff it back in.

    Jason,

    What did you have to do to get it to work? I need to check what you did against the wiki site to make sure it is correct.

    Thanks

    Hi John,

    I will take a look tomorrow and let you know the changes I made,however I see you have already updated the wiki so you may have found what was missing, but I'll still check.

    Thanks for the original information, it will make a great addition to my machines.

    Regards,

    Jayson
