Since the jog.counts inputs are ignored when axis.n.jog-enable is false, you shouyld be able to change modes while not moving the wheel and/or jogging is disabled. So you could use vel mode to spin close to the right spot, then once you reach a base position, flip to position mode and dial in the number of "clicks" you want. Note that position mode was the original implementation, and the mode where it stops when the wheel stops is the addidtion - this doesn't represent a change from the old behavior, it's an additional feature. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
