MPG jogging using gui increments was created by OT-CNC
Hi,
New user here. I need your help with a simple MPG setup. I would like to modify hal so I can use the mouse selected jog increments in the axis gui for mpg control. Basically have the same increments that the keyboard jog arrows use be linked to my 2 mpgs. I don't have any external switches.
So far I have a basic configuration that works with my x and z lathe axis using 2 mpgs. The jog rate is set at a default .001" per detent.
TIA

I don't think Axis has the jog amount as a pin but you could check in Show Hal Configuration. Short of that you could add a PyVCP panel and put a radio button there for you MPG.

JT thanks for the response. I'll check the hal config. Not sure I want to add a PyVCP panel. It may be more practical to put a physical selector switch next to the mpgs.
If I go that traditional route, do the units on the gui update to what is selected on the switch? Or is the MPG pendant handled as a separate item?

AXIS has axisui.* hal pins that are exactly for this.
% halcmd show pin axisui
Component Pins:
Owner Type Dir Value Name
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.a
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.b
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.c
67 float OUT 0.001 axisui.jog.increment
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.u
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.v
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.w
67 bit OUT TRUE axisui.jog.x
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.y
67 bit OUT FALSE axisui.jog.z
67 bit IN FALSE axisui.notifications-clear
67 bit IN FALSE axisui.notifications-clear-error
67 bit IN FALSE axisui.notifications-clear-info

Thanks for the reply cradek. Do you have an example of what I need to add to the HAL file to make this work?

I have looked at the manual and the code generated by pncconf.
Do I need to connect the axisui.jog.a etc to the mux components? Not fully following as I'm new to this. It seems all the examples use external selector switches. No?

You don't need the mux, as the selector is in the axis software.
You just need something like
Of course, you could choose a shorter name for the net, and put it all on the same line![:-) :-)](/media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png)
You can then delete everything "upstream" of axis.0.jog-scale from the original config.

You just need something like
net some_net_name_increment axisui.jog-increment
net some_net_name_increment axis.0.jog-scale
net some_net_name_increment axis.1.jog-scale
net some_net_name_increment axis.2.jog-scale
...

andypugh, thanks for the feedback. I spent 2 hrs trying to make this work. I need a bit more guidance sorry.
So far this is what I have that works:
net x-jog-count <=hm2_5i25.0.7i84.0.0.enc0.count
setp axis.0.jog-vel-mode 0
net x-jog-enable => axis.0.jog-enable
net x-jog-count => axis.0.jog-counts
net selected-jog-incr =>axis.0.jog-scale
sets x-jog-enable true
sets selected-jog-incr .001
This is repeated for the other axis.
I tried net 0.005_ axisui.jog.increment =>axis.0.jog-scale in the above example in the scale line. I don't get movement.

That is a net line that creates a signal called "0.005_ axisui.jog.increment" and connects it to axis.0.jog-scale, which probably isn't exactly what you want.
Try "net gui_jog_increment axisui.jog.increment => axis.0.jog-scale axis.1.jog-scale axis.2.jog-scale"
