Keygrabber Mach3 Download
If using Mach3, Keygrabber and a logitech dual action gamepad plus a couple of hours = one honkin' machine addon. Since key grabber allows for 4 different sets of controls/pages of controls, you can have a ton of options.
I used a Playstation controller for mine too. Unfortunately mine is a 'wired' setup and I use a different software for the keygrabbing. I'll have to look into this. Were you able to drive multiple axes at a time? For example, moving the joystick up and to the left should activate 2 axes, like holding down both of the arrow keys on the keyboard. My current setup, doesn't.
Now you need to figure out how to activate the rumble pack when you hit a limit switch! -Brian Try this site and see if it works for you.
For some reason it didn't work for me but not a big deal because the mach 3 keygrabber does all the work. I'll try moving more then one axis at a time and get back to you. No intention of one upping, but you can control all 3 Axis with an XBOX360 controller. I just set it up on my machine a couple days ago. Mine doesn't even use a real Microsoft controller, just one that came with my used console. It's pretty sweet, and really help with alignment.
The left analog pad moves X and Y (speed sensitive) and the 4 way does step increments. Then I set X, Y and B to be my zero's (B is Z in my case) to zero each axis.
'Start' is cycle start. Also, it requires you to pull one of the triggers to it to become active, so there is no chance of jogging on accident. Anyways, it works really well, and might be worth looking into if you want more control. Then again, if your familiar with the PS controller (or it's what you already have) then that needs considered too. No, after installing the plug-in the only thing I needed to do (besides tweak the default buttons to suite my needs) was tell it which controller to look for. This was actually the hardest part of the install, cause the instructions on the Mach3 website didn't explain it that well.
When you know what to do, it's pretty easy. You need to enter a Product ID and Vendor ID into the plug-in and restart Mach before it will work. To find these, go to your Device Manager select 'properties' on the Xbox controller icon. Then you go to the Details tab and select 'Description' for the dropdown menu.
This will give you the two numbers you need. Mine was '0678' and 'BEEF', or something like that. It took me a bit to figure out how to do this, and Google didn't turn up much. Hopefully this will help someone in the future.
I used to use mine on my old Mach3 machine and now I use it on the 'bot. It's a LOT easier to setup for use with the 'bot. On Mach3 it took me ages to get all the Mach3 KeyGrabber commands set and I never could get the joystick to work all the time. It's easy peasy with the Logitech control software and the 'bot control software though. For Mach3 all the info is on their forum although back when I did mine I had to follow the instructions for an XBox controller as no-one was using the WingMan. That might have changed by now though. I'm not sure what kind of problems you're having, but I used a Logitech gamepad and Mach3 to run my old CNC machine (not a ShopBot) for years.
It worked great and I don't remember it being hard to setup. (I'm not trying to rub my success in your face here - just trying to give encouragement. It can be done!) I used the KeyGrabber program and followed directions I found somewhere in the Mach support docs/videos.
Sorry I can't be more specific, I set that up about 5 years ago and never had any problems with it, so I never had to play with the settings afterwards. @ Adrian - Could you or someone else fill me in on how to set it up for use on with SB3/PRS Alpha controls? I don't think I've ever heard about that option.
I had read from one person that all they had to do was to install the Logitech software and go. Well, the only thing that worked was the native joystick plugin using the Dpad. Then I shut down Mach and restarted to find no jogging response at all from my keyboard even after I shut down the gamepad software. Took me awhile to find the backup XML file and get my system back to normal. Now I can get some button response, but absolutely nothing on the joysticks for jogging.
Further research led me to keygrabber and I'm now in the process of understanding how to set it up. Thanks for letting me know that a successful end is possible, Russ.

@Russ, to get it to work with SB3 I use the Logitech Wingman control software and create a custom profile associated with the SB3 exe file. Step through each button/stick on the Wingman and associating a keystroke with it for the associated bot function.
