controlling focuser from a gamepad within eqmod

hi. i am wondering if anyone can help me set up my eqmod. i have it hooked up to the mount no problem. i also have fcusb and i am able to control the skywatcher swelfocuser using focuspal. no problems here.

what i want to do is control the focuser from the same gamepad controller i am using to control the mount within eqmod.

how can i do this?

i had to open and configure the focuser within ascompad which was located in the program list. i thought i could do it from the eqascom window which controls the mount. but the ascompad is a separate program and window.

it's very cool. accurate control without cables.
