NEW v3.000 – 6/18/24!
This is another plugin for using an XBox360 controller (or a knockoff) as a pendant.
The Pro version takes the free version below, and adds a number of useful features:
- Long button press vs short button press actions (ie, make it so you can hit e-stop with a quick button touch, but reset may require a hold for a time of user settable duration to ensure can’t accidentally reset, etc by bumping the button)
- Mouse mode (Yes, the xbox controller can also be your mouse)
- Screen overlay displays / reminders / button press duration indicator, etc.
- Access to the thumb stick button clicks and start button (back button reserved for mode changing in the plugin)
- Two separate speed presets to assign to the sticks rapidly (change between fast jogging for moving across table, then switch to very low max speed for setup work, center finding, etc)
- A quick access menu for selecting speed preset or jog step size.
- and probably a few other items I’ve already forgotten about….

ProbeCloud
This plugin is for probing the surface of a 3D object using a touch probe, and storing data into a point cloud into a plain text (csv) file. Features:
- Ability to define a perimeter that is used to filter probing areas to cover. Ability to Preview probing area, and define the probe areas as inside or outside of the perimeter. This can greatly reduce wasted probing time collecting points you don’t want or need.
- Ability to stop and re-start at a position and continue writing to the same file. Probing 100,000 points can take a long time, now you can break your probing up into several sessions.
- Adaptive retracting. The probing routine doesn’t just probe from a set ‘safe Z’ plane height, but rather tracks as closely to the surface of the part as you choose, only retracting to a higher Z level when necessary
- Ability to have the plugin send you an email (or a text if you set it up to email to a special address that forwards to your cell number). Now you don’t have to wonder if the probing has stalled or hit a snag, the plugin will notifiy you if it has an error or an EStop event occurs before the finish!
