Poti for overrides was created by Daniel_D_Punkt

Hi guys,

i have a test setup for a pendant with a MESA 7i73 and connected a potentiometer to halui.rapid-override.counts. The slider in the axis GUI also moves from 0...100%. Now I leave the potentiometer at 50% and restart LinuxCNC. After the restart the user interface shows 100% although the potentiometer is still set to 50%. Only after I turn the potentiometer a little bit and the value changes, it is also shown in the user interface (it jumps immediately to 50%). Is that supposed to be like this? Is there a way that Linuxcnc reads the value of the potis at startup and sets the slider accordingly.

I can imagine to put the 3.3V for the potentiometer on an output of the 7i73 which I switch to 3V3 when loading the HAL to get this effect. But this should only be a workarround and I hope that someone of you can tell me what I did wrong.

setp halui.rapid-override.direct-value true
setp halui.rapid-override.count-enable true
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.2.analogin0-scalemax 100
setp halui.rapid-override.scale 0.01

net analog0        <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.2.analogin0
net analog0        => conv_float_s32.rapid.in
net rapid-override <= conv_float_s32.rapid.out
net rapid-override => halui.rapid-override.counts

I am working with version 2.8.0-pre1-6125.

Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

the behaviour of the potentiometers is really annoying.
i have solved this with mux-generic.

When the machine is switched off, the potentiometer value is set to 100%.
If the machine is switched on, the real potentiometer value is used.

Hi Roland,

Thanks for the answer. This possibility has not yet occurred to me and I will try your solution. By the way, we have the same taste in housing :-)

After I did some tests i have now come to the conclusion that i will use encoder instead of potis for feed-override, rapid-oberride and spindle-override. Since the 7i73 has only 4 encoder inputs and i still have the jogwheel, the jog-speed remains at one pot. This value can be written directly.

# >>> POTI Jog-Speed>>>
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.2.analogin0-scalemax 3600
net analog_jog <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.2.analogin0
net analog_jog => halui.axis.jog-speed
# <<< POTI <<<

# >>> Encoder Feed-Override >>>
setp halui.feed-override.direct-value false
setp halui.feed-override.count-enable true
setp halui.feed-override.scale 0.1
net enc-feed   <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.2.enc1.count
net enc-feed   => halui.feed-override.counts
# <<< Encoder Feed-Override <<<

# >>> Encoder Rapid-Override >>>
setp halui.rapid-override.direct-value false
setp halui.rapid-override.count-enable true
setp halui.rapid-override.scale 0.1
net enc-rapid   <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.2.enc2.count
net enc-rapid   => halui.rapid-override.counts
# <<< Encoder Rapid-Override <<<

# >>> Encoder Spindle-Override >>>
setp halui.spindle.0.override.direct-value false
setp halui.spindle.0.override.count-enable true
setp halui.spindle.0.override.scale 0.1
net enc-spindle   <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.2.enc3.count
net enc-spindle   => halui.spindle.0.override.counts
# <<< Encoder Spindle-Override <<<

Hi Roland
I'm trying to use a POT as well for Feed override. After much searching found your reply. I have a 10k pot wired to a MESA 7i76e and can see the analog input. just having difficulty getting the slider to change on the GUI screen like yours. Could you share your HAL file, do you use a post GUI file as well ?
Thanks.

Hi keyboard,
with my example above i wanted to show how to use mux-gen to avoid the 100% problem of the potentiometer.
The shown lines are just a part of my hal and therefore of course not complete.

with these entries the potentiometer can be mounted. It should work this way or something similar. The pin names have to be adapted to the used 7i76e.

setp halui.feed-override.count-enable true
setp halui.feed-override.scale 0.01
setp mux-gen.00.in-float-00 100
    
net feedpot-raw    mux-gen.00.in-float-01  hm2_7i92.0.7i84.0.2.analogin0

If you really want to see the complete hal and ini files, let me know.

Could you post your hal and ini files? Im having a hard time getting the hyst component to load. I really would just like to see how everything is configured to get a pot to actually work.

Is the question addressed to me?

Did you compile the hyst component?
