Planning - Bridgeport Interact 1 linuxCNC Retrofit

PCW,

Yes I went back and checked the capitalization and checked my names.

I must not be using the proper syntax. I still haven't gotten it to work.

I'll try tomorrow after work. At lest I know it's doable.

Thanks for the help and suggestions.

I mentioned it because you are using "-NOT" on the end of the pin name and its "-not"
halcmd is a very nice tool for trying new things with a running linuxcnc instance

net jog-ena-x <= hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.input-24-NOT AND2.22 hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.input-25-NOT

(addf with a base-thread)

There are no "functions" in HAL. Everything needs to be connected like electrical components.

Note that the signal names (the first item after the "net" command) can be anything you choose, they have no special meanings to the system.

Andy,

Thank you so very much, I promise I'm trying to get my head wrapped around HAL, you just helped me understand this very well.
I'm currently at work and I have tied to implement your code, I do believe this will work.

PCW,

Sorry I wasn't clear. After you pointed out the upper and lowercase error I made. I went back and checked and the -NOT was why I could not connect to the signal. [which you knew ] I have tried halcmd before, but I'm not versed enough to use it effectively, but I'm getting there!

Thanks to you guys putting up with my questions! Thanks so much for the continued support everyone is offering me on this forum.

That's a lot of "and" functions.
I rather suspect that a lot of the logic could have been simplified by cunning use of LUT5

cncnoob,

You are using a quite old version of my hal that used a bunch of and2 functions to create 2 jog rates using the button on the joystick. It didn't work because I didn't fully understand how the button is wired. It also just was not a great idea.

Here is my current hal. The jog stuff is vastly simpler.



Sorry for the fire drill. A phone conversation at some point would probably be a good idea. Gotta go for now.
