Hi, Linuxcnc forum !
I have this problem:
On my homemade mpeg pendant I have a rotative switch for select axis X,Y,Z,A,B,C
I checked several times my connections from the pendant to the DB25 male connector to the LPT2 port and all wires are well connected. For sure i respect each pin like the CUSTOM.hal file!! like below
I have this trouble:
If I select the position "X" axis i can see the moviment of "Y+Z" axis togheter contemporanely....
If I select the position "Y" axis i can see the moviment of "X+Z" axis togheter contemporanely....
If I select the position "Z" axis i can see the moviment of "Y+X" axis togheter contemporanely....
I can't see each axis move alone... always this trouble
The problem is too about axis "A, B, C," Those no move anytime moving the encoder whell.
I tested too the "Show Hal Configuration" menu > Pins> Parport.
Each input is well working and moving the 6 positions rotative switch i can see the led yellow led go to red color when i select the requested axis. So the input is well working. Never i have 2 or more input contemporanely now!!
net mpg-x axis.0.jog-enable <= parport.2.pin-04-in # AXIS X
net mpg-y axis.1.jog-enable <= parport.2.pin-05-in # AXIS Y
net mpg-z axis.2.jog-enable <= parport.2.pin-06-in # AXIS Z
net mpg-4 axis.3.jog-enable <= parport.2.pin-07-in # AXIS A
net mpg-5 axis.4.jog-enable <= parport.2.pin-12-in # AXIS B
net mpg-6 axis.5.jog-enable <= parport.2.pin-13-in #AXIS C
The strange is about the input X,Y,Z,A are well working in the test input "Watch" . Those going ON or OFF one by one separatly but the axis move togheter like i described above.
Please can You check my Custom.hal file if have any error or errors or you suggest to write in different files or sometings?
I think the mistake can be there because I try to set it for 6 axis starting from the MPEG Pendant sample on the user manual myself . So for sure i make some mistakes.... Please apologize me !!

I am fairly sure that Bright Yellow is ="true" and Dark Red = False. (This makes no sense, and confuses me). Check with a pin where you can be sure of the sense, like spindle-on,
Try:
Every parport pin has a companion pin called "...-not" with the opposite sense, for convenience. Note that this is a special alternate HAL pin, it isn't the case that -not is a generic HAL modifier function.

Dear Andypugh Many Thanks for your quick answer !!
I understand perfectly your suggestions.
I think just now i understand after your suggestion my mistake.
Just on monday morning i will check my machine just because now I'm not at home for the weekend.
So I will advise you soon is possible about the result of the test.
Many Thanks for your Courtesy!!

Dear Andypugh,
I have tested my machine following your suggestions.
Finally now all is ok and mine 6 axis moving one for time just selecting the 6 position selector.
My error was the Ground well no refered on mpeg pendant.
Many Thanks for your great support.
Kind Regards
