axis vs touch offs.

Here is working sample of radio button selection pins added to axis using the USER_COMMAND_FILE option to add runtime modifications.

Add this file to your config folder.
Add this command to your INI under the DISPLAY heading.

USER_COMMAND_FILE=jogSelectPins.py

There will be two input pins added:
axisui.selectRadioX
axisui.selectRadioZ

This just gets the basics done - there may be details to work out such as joint jogging if you allow that in your config.

ohhh it needs to go in user live update, that makes sense,

I do it in my .hal.
This did not add the buttons
I put the attachd file in the $config dir. and put the USER_COMMAND_FILE=jogSelectPins.py as the last item under the [DISPLAY|
and ran it, no effect. does it need an addf to one of the threads?
Thanks Chris.

It doesnt add buttons. It adds HAL pins that will select the a is selection radio buttons.
Strobe the pin high and the radio button will be selected.

The jogSelectPin.py file needs to be in the same place as the INI file.

Watch the capitals are the same in the file name as the entry in the INI

I knew that, but there has to be a pin to strobe.

It is, but no added pins can be seen. I even did a chmod +x on the file,

First thing I checked, used copy/paste to create the file content and its names. htop can't see it running.
Perhaps there should be a python shebang at the top?
 
 

If you have a PYVCP panel, (found this in your .ini;  PYVCP    =    pyvcp-panel-tach-status.xml)
the pins show up as:
