Adding a ShuttleXpress

Alas, I haven't gotten it to work like I want (the way it works in PathPilot) yet. I've been experimenting with one from my Tormach lathe, but I bought this one (just haven't taken it out of the box yet). I got busy with other things a day or two after I posted this.

I've finally gotten back around to trying to make this work, and I have the spring wheel working reasonably well. This makes using the router a LOT nicer. I'm happy to share the config with anyone, though it's far from perfect.

One thing I'd like to figure out how to address, and my googling is coming up short: the OS interprets the spring wheel movement as mouse wheel movement, and does things like zooming the NC preview, or scrolling windows, depending on where the mouse is pointing. I imagine there's a way to tell linux to ignore the ShuttleXpress as a general HID device, but I haven't found it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

You can disable it in from the setttings - input devices so you can use it only in LinuxCNC.

Settings in Debian somewhere? Or in LinuxCNC?

Probably in Debian.

Yeah, my googling has not been successful on the subject, and the Plasma UI doesn't seem to surface anything appropriate. I'll keep searching.
