2 seperate MPG handwheels for each axis - CNC Lathe build

I am not at home right now, but I wrote just minutes ago quiet a lot on my phone but when I posted it I got a "kunena internal error". As soon as will be back at home i will reply to all your answers.

Alright, i am back at the test PC.

@PCW: Thanks for that! Now i do understand that the input pins 16 and 17 dont need to be somewhere in the HAL, because those pins are already linked with "hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.enc0.count". Correct?

To count, the inputs must swing below 2V and above 3V relative to field ground

So, 4.10V is totally fine.

@rodw: I have read your build thread many times, really, but my problem is, i have no switches at all, so i dont know what i have to change in the HAL so that the MPG is always active just to test it.

The only thing I thought of is that if you don't have the axis select switch installed, you might have to setp the MPG scale pin to a value. If it is 0 , nothing will happen.

Thats a good point. Make sense for me, but again i dont know what i have to enter/change in the HAL to set one scale which is always active, so that no switches are needed.

It seems that i would need to study all those codes for linuxcnc and the complete MESA 7i76e manual or so, but i want to be honest: I want a working machine and not be a pro in Linuxcnc setup. Some time ago i wanted to set up a test pc and learn classic ladder etc., but i do not have a lot of time anymore, so i want spent my free time with other things than something which i will not really need a lot in future. Of course i would like to understand the configuration, because later when the mechanical part on the Lathe is done, i want a panel with a switch for the scale change (ordered the same as you have, but i already wrote that i think on page 1). Also i want to have some buttons to start/stop g code, but right now i just do not want to think about it. As soon as i get the switch for the scale and some buttons i will start thinking about that.

In my next post i will precisly explain my current setup, so that it will be easier to help me out.

Thats the thing. There is not a dedicated support desk so you need to work a few things out yourself.

Where I said Try
Assuming a metric machine, that will give you a 1mm step. Change it to suit if you are in inches ot it will move 1 inch per click!
I might ad that I di move 1 meter per click once!

So, i just upgraded to Linuxcnc 2.9 pre.
Debian vers. 9

Wiring of MPG to Mesa 7i76e: See picture:

*GND from TB3 Pin 9 is connected to GND of TB3 Pin 23

I used PCCONF to create a RAW setup. See pictures:
Everything else has been not set up and left as default.
After the set up i changed in the HAL the sserial port: sserial_port_0=2xxxx
I attached the .HAL and .INI file

I started Linuxcnc, opened the Halmeter and unfortunately nothing happens when turning the MPG handwheel, no matter which Pins enc0 pins i choose. See picture:
Do i understand it correctly, that if the wiring of the MPG is correct, then something should happen in the Halmeter when selecting the correct Pin ?

To remember: I have no switches to select the scale also no buttons to enable to MPG, so as Rodw wrote, i would need to set a standard scale. Also i would need to have the MPG active without any buttons to press.
I hope that are all informations you need to help me out.
Of course, in meantime until i get some help i will try to get it done by my self and not just wait until someone helps

Thanks in advance guys.

@Rodw: Of course i understand to find out a lot of things by my self, but i really tried but its difficult for me.
Thanks for "setp axis.x.jog-scale 1", but if in Halmeter nothing happens when turning the handwheel, then i think that the problem might be in the wiring, or am i wrong ?

Can you chexk what I used here

I have a feeling I might have been different.

If the mode is right and it is not counting, then look at wiring.
