Has anyone hooked up a Joy Stick with Mach 3? I am thinking about using my old joy stick with my DSLS.

Steve

I believe you can use one using the Key Grabber in Mach...

Fretsman is the one to ask about this I think

I do this witha ps2 controller, and keygrabber. It works well, I did not have very good luck with the joystick pluggin, but that may just be a issue with my computer. I just bought the griffin powermate on ebay for $12, it should be here in a few days.

I don't want to sound dumb but what is a key grabber?

key grabber is a program (comes with mach3) it grabs inputs (like keypresses, joystick buttons) and assigns them to functions in mach3.

Thank you for the info!

Steve,

Have a look at this thread over at the Mach 3 forum, as it gives a huge amount of info on using controllers through KeyGrabber:
