contour shuttle pro as EMC pendant

Well, when I run the hidconfig, it found my device, loaded the table with the right number and style of controls. And when I push the buttons on the ShuttlePro, the corresponding led on the left side of the table lights up. And when I put "loadusr -w hidcomp INI my-mill.INI shuttlpro.hid"(the last two are my file names) in my hal file, EMC loads without error.

Can only suggest that you do as Andy suggested earlier

In a terminal run
$ halrun
At the halcmd prompt
halcmd: loadusr -w hidcomp INI my-mill.INI shuttlpro.hid
then
halcmd: show all

Then cut and paste the output.

regards

If, (and only if) LinuxCNC is currently starting without an error, you can see them all in the Machine->Show Hal Config screen of Axis (Other GUIs will vary).

You may also select "watch" and confirm that pushing a button or moving a dial has the desired effect on a pin and which pin it is.

Ok, so I tried that and apparently it's not loading hidcomp. I just don't understand why. See attached photo.

I am a little embarrassed, I figured out (with Franks help) why the pins weren't loading. I had EMC 2.4.6, and I had the latest hidcomp. Now that I updated to the latest version of LinuxCNC, it loads the pins just fine. Now I just need help understanding how to do the net commands in Hal to link the pins. I have attached photos of the pins in "Show Hal Configuration."

Sorry, originally this pc(with Linuxcnc) wasn't on my network. I took the photos with my phone and didn't realize they were turned. Anyway, here are the pins hidcomp generates:

Thanks Andy, that kinda helps. I found this thread:
www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...express?limitstart=0

I would like to do what George did, just not sure of all the steps to get there, especially when it comes to the wheel and/or dial.

Andy, in the thread mentioned above, you made this example:

loadrt mux2 count=2
addf mux2.0 servo-thread
addf mux2.1 servo thread

net x-jog-enable shuttle.0.button1-out mux2.0.sel
net z-jog-enable shutttle.0.button2-out mux2.1.sel
net jog-speed shuttle.0.analog mux2.0.in1 mux2.1.in1
net x-jog mux2.0.out halui.jog.0.analog
net z-jog mux2.1.out halui.jog.2.analog

Would shuttle.0.analog be the wheel? Could I do the same thing with mux4, to use 4 buttons? And since the wheel has a .fvalue, a .I value, and .raw which do I use in my net statement?
