Problem using the Gamepad #203

Closed mrthekod closed 3 years ago

mrthekod commented 3 years ago

I used to have a gamepad control working wonderfully... Then I moved house. Now I just get this. Tried different gamepads/joysticks/Arduino Leonardo pretending to be a gamepad. All the same. Everything else is working as expected. GRBL-Error

mrthekod commented 3 years ago

My current Gamepad Settings. GRBL-Gamepad-Settings

1st screenshot: you send G91 Y0.000 F0 -> F0 means no speed at all. Are you using grbl version 1.1 or 0.9? Does the virtual joystick works? image

mrthekod commented 3 years ago

Virtual Joystick works fine. The inputs report fine in gamepad settings, i.e. Go from - 0x0 to 0xFFFF Tried using older versions of GRBL, currently back on 1.1 Tried 6 other versions of GRBL-Sender. Even tried a whole new install of Win10!! Most frustrating.

Currently Flashing the arduino nano3 with grbl_v1.1h.20190825.hex that was downloaded with GRBL-Plotter.

svenhb commented 3 years ago

Do you get always the same command send, as visibe on your screenshot? (G91 Y0.000 F0 ) - I mean F0

svenhb commented 3 years ago

Also the step with is zero (Y0.000) - strange

What are your grbl settings for $100, $101?

mrthekod commented 3 years ago

I was getting about 100 a second.

Update! Deleted EVERYTHING, started from scratch with 1.5.8.2 and the grbl_v1.1h.20190825.hex that was in the 1.5.8.2 zip.

All of a sudden, works perfectly! The only thing I really did differently, was to use Xloader to send the HEX file. Usually used the Arduino ide.

Thankyou for your attention tho. Will return if anything odd happens.

I do have a bit of an odd project coming up soon with a VERY elaborate tool change system. Should I use this or an email if I hit a snag... probably won't be a bug so much.

Should I use this or an email

I would prefer this way

svenhb commented 3 years ago

BTW: there is already a newer version "nonreleased" with some bug fixes: https://github.com/svenhb/GRBL-Plotter/releases

Oh I'm not messing with this for a while :) Thankyou again.
