MPG Jog interface for Mach3

[audioandy]

Thanks Irving

Damn it I'm on holiday or I would have gone. :sad:

I have got myself a shuttle pro (thanks Lee!)

But....

Plugged it in and it won't work with mach3, the one I have borrowed off of John works fine but that is an original shuttle express, this one looks like a copy of the pro version! I have tried all the options on the the mach3 plugin but still no good.

So before I start scratching my head any more, has anyone had any experience with one of these??

Photo's attached below.

Np, it says ShuttlePro on the lable also contourdesign.com, i dont think its a copy mate.

Have you tryed installing the drivers for it, this came from the USA as well. Maybe worth posting on the Zone as well steve as a number of the chaps over there use these to.

Got the ballscrew today mate, looks sweet ill eye it up later and let you know.

Whatever you do DON'T INSTALL THE DRIVERS, that will fluff everything up, all you need is the shuttle plugin off the Mach > Plugin's page.

In Mach go to Config, Config Plug in and if it's loaded it will be there, click Config, right hand side in yellow and make sure you select Shuttle PRO, right hand side at the bottom.

I have not installed the drivers because I remember you telling me not to do this when I first pinched yours.

Already been to the Mach plugin config page and tried shuttle pro, shuttle and all the rest of them, still no joy.

I unplug yours (Johns) which works fine and then closedown mach3, plugin in the new one and I get the message - No shuttle detected for type selected - tried all the different types and restarted mach each time after switching, still no joy.

After lurking around I found this - http://www.machsupport.com/forum/ind....html#msg69461

Seems that I too am the semi-proud owner of a bastard step-child ShuttlePro that is not supported! My VID number is also USB\VID_05F3 as in the machsupport forum post which basically means mach wont find it as it is looking for a VID of USB\\VID_0B33. VID=Vendor Identity

Looks like I need to get a shuttle pro2, or tell John that I have lost his......:whistling:

No need, I can bloody read................

Dose Mach use different plugins for each model they do John ?

[Lee Roberts]

Damn it, sorry steve i wasnt to know mate.

I wonder if we can flash the chip on these or some how right new info to the device so Mach can see it ?
