Wireless XBox Cntrl with Carbide Motion

[ssargent_2002 (Scott Sargent)]

I recently purchased a JORREP XBox Wireless Controller. With no luck using it with carbide motion. Has anyone had any luck with the newest version of carbide motion using a wireless controller? Do we also need a keymapping to make it work? If so, how can I get a good keymapping utility for my windows 11.

Thanks

Initial setup requires plugging it in, and allowing the device to get setup. Controls are active when in Jog mode: Increment: RB — increases current jog rate RT — …

while remapping as is done for gamepads would probably work:

A different sort of pendant

I find the game controller and numeric keypad layouts a bit confusing (also, my son lay claim to the second Logitech F310 since he left his at college), and while I love the click on my wonderful 6 Key Keyboard (Techkeys SixKeyBoard CNC Edition) I find I need to change the jog rate often enough when using my Shapeoko that it has been consigned to the far corner of the basement for use with my Nomad (and I am anxiously awaiting the 3x3 version). Until that time, I’ve been looking for an alternat…

it shouldn’t be necessary.

Hopefully a future version of Carbide Motion will restore this functionality.

I’m running the current carbide motion, windows 10, on a Asus transormer. As it only has one full size USB port, I’ve been using a Microsoft wireless Xbox controller, with the only issue with the controller connecting to the tablet, via bluetooth. Once connected, it works with Carbide Motion.
