If you look around that folder, you can see other macros with somewhat similar names. That’s where you save the macro M798.m1s. So if your xml file is billsmachine.xml, inside the Macros folder of Mach3, you will find a subfolder named billsmachine. You have to save that file inside of Mach 3 in the Macros folder, inside the subfolder that has the same name as the xml file you are using. Then, here’s the part that drove me a little crazy.

I saved the file per Lee’s suggestion as M798.m1s. In my case, I just had one line:Ĭode “G00 Z0”. Reading the guide, it said to use the Notepad to write the macro. The only tricky part was putting in a macro for the Green Button which I wanted to Goto Z=0. You will now see a picture of an Xbox controller with drop down boxes for each button showing your choices. (If you do not see this plugin, go back to where you saved the downloaded plugin file, and click on it).Ħ. Then click on the yellow highlighted “CONFIG” in the same line. Click on the red “x” beside the Xbox 360 to turn it into a green check mark. Start Mach3, and click on Config/Config Plugins. It should also light up one quadrant of the Xbox button (big one, center of top with an 'x' on it), showing all is well.ĥ.

Your computer should pop up a couple of messages indicating it has recognized a USB device. Now plug in the Xbox controller to a USB port on your computer. After you have downloaded the file, click on it to execute the file.Ĥ.
