I can jog the axes as well as set the spindle override and feedrate overrides with the pendant. This can be done with 7 input pins including the encoder, if counted via the software encoder component.
If you use a hardware encoder channel, then it only takes 5 digital inputs. I used diodes to encode the axis selector switch, so i could use a single-deck switch, instead of multiple pole. This hardware stuff doesn't apply to your presumably USB controller, but the hal file might give you some ideas of how to connect it up for jogging, etc. Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
