mpg without external button was created by centipid
I need help in using or configuring MPG without external push button(hardware), but instead use the GUI to select which axis to jog. I'm new to emc2 and I successfully configure my machine except for MPG. I don't want to use additional hardware(button) to select the axis, I just want to utilized the GUI for that function.
Thanks

AXIS exports pins with names such as;
axisui.jog.x
That pin will be true when you select that axis in the GUI
You can connect that to (again for the X axis)
axis.0.jog-enable
then these
axis.0.jog-counts to an encoder counter
axis.0.jog-scale to axis.jog.increment
Some references (EMC 2.4.x:)
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.4/html/gui_axis....:Physical-jog-wheels
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.4/html/config_emc2hal.html
Hope that gives you the idea .

Hello Cmorley,
Sorry for the delay response. I tried what you said but it didn't work. Can you please send me a sample code that I can load and test?

better if you zip your config files and post them.
I might add that i have not set up jogging as you have asked but it should not be a problem.

looks like you connected
axisui.jog.a
axisui.jog.b
axisui.jog.c
instead of
axisui.jog.x
axisui.jog.y
axisui.jog.z
axisui.jog.a
axisui.jog.b
axisui.jog.c
instead of
axisui.jog.x
axisui.jog.y
axisui.jog.z
