Greetings all; I just hooked up a couple cables to the BOB on a 5i25's p2 connector. But gpio 31-32-33-34-35 apparently have no pullup.I searched thru the hal file looking for gpio.013, which is the pin all three switches formerly shared and is wired to p3-10. Those pins have a pullup, to

You can't have a pointer on an encoder because you have no way of knowing where zero is. Les On 26/10/2018 13:42, Todd Zuercher wrote: For the OCD like myself, the one machine I work with that has a factory pot for feed override, is a pain to twiddle the knob to get the control to show

For the OCD like myself, the one machine I work with that has a factory pot for feed override, is a pain to twiddle the knob to get the control to show exactly 100% on the screen. It's always a little over or under. I would very much prefer an encoder. Just because you have an encoder knob

I use pots on all of my machines. Generally I have 3 pots, FRO, maximum feed and spindle override. The ADC is provided by an Arduino which controls all of my front panel buttons and talks to LCNC via Modbus over USB. I did put the code on the wiki many years ago but I just did a search and

I would prefere to have potentiometer style of knobs where I can include scale from 0-120% Like on this picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tc315af7ayee3gk/Rotary_switch.jpg?dl=0 Are for this used potentiometer or encoder? ___ Emc-users mailing
