Will a joystick type controller be included with the CNC’s. If not what do you recommend?

If anybody is interested in repurposing their XBOX controller , I can confirm that it just works. I plug mine in directly with a long USB cable into the OF controller. I do not have to change modes and all axis are controlled (including different speeds) as expected. Technically the controller sup…

Were you ever able to figure it out? I just set mine up and the same thing is happening to me, it takes me a minute to hold the button down to get it to the top two blue lights and I don’t know how to default it to that

I was fed up with having to configure the wireless joystick controller every time I turned on the CNC so I finally bought a wired joystick controller from Amazon. Problem solved.

Logitech F310, I think it was $16 on Amazon

I’ve been using the Logitech F710 controller for a little over a month now and it keeps randomly losing connection. Often it loses inputs or just gets stuck at for example left or right.
