Maho mh600c manual b axis was created by Mccartymachine1
I converted a 1987 mh600c to linuxcnc. A basic configuration with a Mesa 5i25 and 7i77. I used Chinese (Sino brand) 1um linear scales to replace the Philips open scales. I have a hard wired mpg.
The next feature I want to get working is the encoder on the manual B-axis. It is a heidenhain rod 271. I have no clue where to start. I want to use linuxcnc for a rotary DRO on the manual B-axis without a servo.

the heidenhein encoders are resolver there are trunslaters on the market to get a clear ttl count
or you simply remove the heidenhain and get a low cost standard encoder placed

(Page 49) Says that the ROD270 series are standard TTL quadrature.
So should connect direct to a 7i77, I would have thought.

With enough playing around, I think I can figure out the physical connection to the 7i77. My main concern is how to set up the configuration to display the angle with some sort of ability to zero and not have it linked to an axis servo output? Or to be linked with a manual prompt (like a manual tool change, mid program).

I have a manual B axis on my Harrision. It is very manual, I need to loosen bolts and read a protractor scale.
But, my idea has been to configure as if there is a real axis then jog that axis to a position to match the physical reality.
In HAL you just need to make a direct connection between command and feedback:
If you want to make the actual motion of the axis drive the computer's version of reality then I think I have just thought of a dodge:
Configure the B-axis encoder as both the B-axis feedback device _and_ the B-axis jogwheel. Then physical moves of B will look like b-jog commands and the system will be happy that it is moving.
The drawback is that this probably won't work while G-code is executing.
