Haydn,
Never heard of a Griffin Powermate, don't know if it's an apple or a lemon!  ;)
Maybe you can provide somemore info on it or how it installs into MACH.

howdee!

I found the thing in the plugins directory and hoped it would be usefull as its a jog wheel it installs ok when i press the wheel down to change axis..cool but when i rotate the wheel no indication in the DRO,s that its working...use the arrow keys and the DRO,s show movement!

so the lemon is a lemon!

Cheers

Well not totally. If it uses an encoder then the encoder can be wired to make an MPG via the PP.
What plug-in directory are you referring to?

HAYDN,

Well, egg on my face !  :) ??? ;) ;D

Can't help you out as i never used that one and just never took notice to it in the PlugIn's.

Surely someone in here must have used it and will post.

Haydn,

I'm also not a user of the Powermate but maybe I can help in some way. Just to be sure you installed the plugin correctly by clicking on it and it will say, plugin installed!

Now Open Mach 3 and with Mach 3 open, in the user menu: go to: Config/config plugins and the config box should come up. Now next to griffin blah blah blah, you should see a red "X" and you should click on that to change it to green check mark. Then click the yellow config box and that will bring up another box.

This is where I will be no help as I do not have one of these but have you at least completed the steps I just mentioned?

Dave
