override pots or encoders was created by vre
I want to add 4 override pots-encoders to linuxcnc.
Feed-rapid-spindle-jog override because qtdragon sliders from touch screen are not easy usable.
How can I do it this.
Arduino and potentiometers? Other way?

would definitely use encoder if you want to change the values from different places
i think arduino-connector can do that.
or the luxury version

If you have a Mesa setup, you could add a 7I73 that will support up to 4
MPG encoders (plus buttons/keypad/etc) and unlike the Arduino, it's
real-time.

I have a jog pendant with an MPG. A selector switch tells LCNC what the MPG is supposed to adjust, I have regular axes, feed override and spindle override set up there.
See : pico-systems.com/pendant.html
for more info, schematics, etc.
This is used with my Pico Systems interface boards, but should be easy to set up with Mesa as well.
