Thanks Terry Terry, Sure, just because you have an MPG installed doesn't take away the keyboard jogging. However, they don't really directly interact with each other if that's what you are asking. The way I understand it they are separate input sources. The keyboard will always be active, the MPG will only be active when it's axis switch is set to a position other than off (depending on the MPG). If that's not exactly what you mean, perhaps a little more info?

The AXIS interface has some hal pins that output the active axis and jog increment, see axisui.* Those will let you do exactly what you want and it works very smoothly - just hook 'em up. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Emc-users] MPG question
Thanks,those pins are just what I was looking for. With the flexibility of Axis/LinuxCNC why would anybody use anything else?

[Emc-users] MPG question
Hi all. I was wondering if it is possible to select the x,y,z axis from the keyboard just like jogging using the keyboard instead of a seperate switch for axis selection when using the MPG. I do not want to use a pendant and am running out of room on the panel of my control. What I was hopinng for was to jog with the direction buttons till I got close then hit the I key and use the MPG for the final touch off.
