joystick pendant control was created by oldmetalbasher
I have tried three examples of adding a joystick and all three show on the debug file info
custom_postgui.hal:69: pin input.0.abs-rz-position does not exist.
# that line out and it will now run and update x and y from the joy pad, however in the hal configuration window no rz or z position can be found , x position and y position are visible.
old age has dulled the brain and I am lost !
using Linuxcnc 2.7.11 thank you in advance

Looking in my glas ball, i can say for sure, you have an error in your config. If you post your config we will even be able to mention it and find a solution.

Hi, do you try this out?
qjoypad.sourceforge.net/
Works fine in Axis 2.7.11
You have to install some Files manually, they where shown by the startup from Qjoypad
Regards, Fritz

The problem is that (for whatever reason) your joypad isn't creating a pin of that name. So you need to find out what HAL pins your joypad does create.
Open a terminal when LinuxCNC is not running and type the following
That starts the HAL realtime environment and then loads the joypad driver. It then opens a halshow that will allow you to list all the HAL pins associated with the joypad
You can then select the "watch" tab, add the pins from the list on the left to that, and see what hal pin name corrsponds to which physical button.
You can open Halshow from inside LinuxCNC (machine-<show hal config in Axis) but doing it inside LinuxCNC makes it less obvious which HAL pins are the joypad.
