I would like to add a physical button to issue an MDI to feed Z at the currently set feedrate and then of course a stop button. Also one for X to face off parts. I think that could be a handy replacement for the no longer present power feeds since I won't have a manual machine. On 02/27/2017 10:

What do you want to use the direction for? If you are using the jogwheel as a jogwheel, you don't need direction at all. LinuxCNC's motion module handles that. On Sat, Feb 25, 2017, at 04:39 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > Greetings all; > > I note the encoder module does not specifically have a "dir

[Emc-users] encoder Q too

2017-02-25 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all; I note the encoder module does not specifically have a "direction" output. Is it sufficient to run the velocity thru a wcomp, compare to 0., and use the over/under pins for multiswitche's direction to count? Seems like it ought to work so I'll hack up some more hal code. Th
