Re: MPG Jog interface for Mach3
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.
Re: MPG Jog interface for Mach3
Dose Mach use different plugins for each model they do John ?

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:
Re: MPG Jog interface for Mach3
No need, I can bloody read................
Re: MPG Jog interface for Mach3
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 ?

Hello,
I think they do work. If you check out the Machsupport forum I think
you will find some threads where people are using them.
I have not used that Rev so I am no help :(
Thanks
Brian
Will have a look later and see if i can find anything of use. :joker:

Good news John, looks like you will be getting yours back! Are you in tomorrow morning? If so get the kettle on, or after taking the piss for "borrowing it" for so long should I bring a flask?
Re: MPG Jog interface for Mach3
