Joystick (Wingman?)

Hi Matt:Art, I have one of the wireless USB wingman game pads with two joysticks, lots-o-buttons and a speed slider. Do you know if anybody has taken the time to set one of these puppies up with MACH2 ? Their driver has provisions to map keys and stuff but would Keygrabber be a viable option here? Tom C |

I believe it would, but it would work anyway just by using the profiler. Art www.artofcnc.ca ----- Original Message -----

I have a force feedback, will that make a difference?

Force feedback makes no difference. Now if we could find some way of monitoring the motor load and feeding it back to the computer we could make use of force feeback :-) Les INDECO wrote: I have a force feedback, will that make a difference? |

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these
If the price was good I'd think you could strip the electronics out of an exsisting PC joystick and end up with an industrial type unit. --Greg Nuspel Radio for the adventurous. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson |

I can see it now, you can actually feel a crash :-)

motor load should be proportionnal to the winding current for servos, for
stepper it's perhaps not as simple. With directx it's possible to send forcefeedback informations to the joystick. This has ever been descussed here and long experienced users think it's not possible to get a nice feedback through the ball screw + motor assembly. Olivier. |

If you've ever opened up a pc joystick, you wouldn't go through the bother, Industrial analog joysticks cost $$$$ if you don't need the variable rate, I have a simple circuit that lets you use n.o. pushbuttons to emulate a joystick, gives you pushbutton jogging, basically what you'd have using the arrow keys, and you can use the throttle pot for feedrate.

Hi Robin,of monitoring the motor load and feeding it back to the computer wecould make use of force feeback :-)WOW! great idea! I have DC tachs on my servos that are just hooked up to panel meters calibrated in IPM. While they are impressive to visitors, they don't do much for me any more, but with force feedback, my handheld controller could vibrate the faster my machine went! One down side is that if I sat the controller down to use the computer keyboard it would vibrate off the table. Gotta love this hobby!! |

You have to have the force feed back hooked up to current sensors, that way

you could really jam the tool into the work and feel it hit :-) ----- Original Message -----

Arcade joysticks will work good for on/off pushbutton type jogging too. Many and cheap on ebay.
