Joypad, Difference in speed x and y axis

Hey,
I have added a joypad, after many tries through various ways it is finally happiness through the good explanation of Big John T.
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant

I do have a different joypad and it took some searching for the other parameters, but it worked in the end.

But the y-axis and z-axis worked in the wrong direction.

As Big John T stated in the document, the addition of these lines should be helpful.
setp input.0.abs-y-scale -127.5
setp input.0.abs-ry-scale -127.5

It does, the axes are reversed, but the movement is much faster than the x axis (which is not reversed)

Any idea why that is, or how it can be concealed.

Grt,

What value do you have set for
setp input.0.abs-x-scale
?

Sorry, I can't find this setting anywhere.

I have followed the above document closely.
and downloaded the zip file, as said I had to adjust the files because I have a different joy-pad.
When axis finally started up as soon as I pressed one of the speed buttons the z-axis started running. The x and Y axis went well, but together with the x axis.
I then have the original
net jog-z-pre <= input.0.abs-rz-position => mux2_z.in1
Changed in
net jog-z-pre <= input.0.abs-ry-position => mux2_z.in1
Because I tested in the hall meter which was the variable for the right joystick.

Then it went well, the axes moved independently and at the same speed.
But the x and z axis moved in the wrong direction.

That's why I
- setp input.0.abs-y-scale -127.5
attached for the y-axis and
- setp input.0.abs-ry-scale -127.5
for the z axis

Both axes are then reversed, but there is a big speed difference with the X axis.
The parameter "Vel" on the asis screen changes when I x-jog, depending on the chosen speed, to 1 - 10 or 100.
While I do that for the z axis or Y-axis in 257 - 1295.455 or 1295.455

I've solved the problem.
Apparently the problem was in the number of bits of the number. I've gone from 8 bits to 16.
So
- setp input.0.abs-y-scale -32767.5
- setp input.0.abs-ry-scale -32767.5
So;
and the speed was good.
