I see why you aren't so worried about losing position then. > Would someone write this and commit it? Done. (In CVS head.) I don't have a jogwheel hooked up. If you are willing to get a CVS checkout and test that would be appreciated. Chris has offered to do a quick test tomorrow, but since you are the one who actually wants the functionality, and you know what you want, your testing would be beneficial. If testing goes OK, I will backport to the 2.1 branch, and it will be part of the 2.1.4 release coming soon. Usage: In addition to the existing jogwheel related HAL pins (jog-enable, jog-counts, and jog-scale), there is a new pin "axis.N.jog-vel-mode". It defaults to false, which gives you the traditional position mode. Set it true, and you get velocity mode, where the machine tracks the wheel unless you spin the wheel too fast - if you go too fast, any "extra" position command is discarded, to prevent overrun when you stop. Note that there will always be _some_ overrun, because the machine needs a finite amount of time to decelerate to a stop. But it will start deceling the instant the wheel stops.
