axis vs touch offs.

Sorry gene, I didnt mean there are new pins, I was just describing how the theoretical new pin would work.

The axisui pin axisui.jog.x is already broken out is similar to halui.axis.x.is-selected
I figured the thing gene is asking about would resemble halui.axis.x.select / then connect the mpg signals to something with logic from here linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/components.html
Eitherway, Ive hit mt ceiling for what I know. Here is my attempt to tie the jog select pin to a halpin. 3 new axisui pins , when high they set the jog.
The problem is i dont know how events (or python) work so the command must be invoked before anything changes. could probably do this a fancier way with comparing position or some shit but im not to good with computers.
You can load it as a usercommand file, and test it out. zoom plus button sets the halpin and clear plot does the command to set jog z enabled. the new halpins are axisui.jog-is-x , axisui.jog-is-y , axisui.jog-is-z
I dont know how to make the command run automatically or how you would connect your mpg halpins to it

Code:

W = root_window.tk.call def jog_select_x(): if hal.get_value ('axisui.jog-is-x') == 1: activate_ja_widget ("x") def jog_select_y(): if hal.get_value ('axisui.jog-is-y') == 1: activate_ja_widget ("y") def jog_select_z(): if hal.get_value ('axisui.jog-is-z') == 1: activate_ja_widget ("z") def jogg_z(): hal.set_p('axisui.jog-is-z','1') def user_hal_pins(): # create new hal pins #mycomp = hal.component('feed') comp.newpin('jog-is-x', hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_IN) comp.newpin('jog-is-y', hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_IN) comp.newpin('jog-is-z', hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_IN) # view p W(".toolbar.clear_plot","configure" ,"-text","jog-z" ,"-command","jog_select_z" ,"-activebackground","steelblue1" ,"-helptext","VIEW P" ,"-font","mono 10 " ,"-compound","top" ,"-borderwidth","1" ,"-width","10" ); # view p W(".toolbar.view_zoomin","configure" ,"-text","set-z" ,"-command","jogg_z" ,"-activebackground","steelblue1" ,"-helptext","VIEW P" ,"-font","mono 10 " ,"-compound","top" ,"-borderwidth","1" ,"-width","10" ); TclCommands.jog_select_x = jog_select_x TclCommands.jog_select_y = jog_select_y TclCommands.jog_select_z = jog_select_z TclCommands.jogg_z = jogg_z commands = TclCommands(root_window) could this become part of axisrc? Then a git pull wouldn't see it and kill it... Thank you
