How To Use an Xbox 360 Controller with MACH3.

Q: I saw you using an Xbox controller in one of your video to operate their CNC. How did you do that? I know some people use it to jog the machine and execute g-codes. I need some help.

How we do it:
We use an Xbox 360 Wireless controller for Windows to operate our CNC Router Table in Mach3. Download the plugin from the Machsupport website and load it into Mach3. Install the included wifi receiver and pair the controller with your computer.
Then we can assign functions to each button and stick on the Xbox360 wireless controller. These functions will allow us to control the CNC Router remotely.
