Simple Remote Pendant (with 2.8.1) analog joystick values

wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant is out of date for 2.8.1

In step 5, Simple Speed Setting it references halui.jog-speed which appears to have changed to halui.joint.jog-speed or halui.axis.jog-speed.

I tried "setp halui.axis.jog-speed 100" but I get an error message about pin already connected.

Is there an updated 2.8.1 guide for remote pendants?

Thanks, I found the renaming info I was looking for in the dev Getting Started. I will consider updating the wiki example to work with 2.8.1.

I'm not seeing what I expect for the joystick analog values with a Logitech F310 gamepad. I'd appreciate any help.
I understand setting the jog-speed and have no problem with that part.
However, the original wiki entry uses (input.0.abs-x-position, input.0.abs-y-position, input.0.abs-rz-position) as the pins connected to the jog-L-analog signals???

When I look at HalMeter and move the right joystick, abs-x-position and abs-rz-position give me the expected analog values scaled between -1..+1. BUT when I move the left joystick I see the abs-hat0x-position and abs-hat0y-position value move from 0 to +-1 (without any intermediate values). When I press what I would call the "hat" it changes abs-x-position and abs-y-position between 0,-1,+1 again with out intermediate values.

I can not get analog xy values from the joysticks. From the feel of the "hat" it doesn't feel like an analog input. It seems that that the 2.8.1 hal_input with a Logitech F310 has the "hat" and the xy joystick mixed up??? I also noticed that the abs-hat0x-max min values are +1/-1 which is consistent with the "hat" being discrete and mapped to the wrong pins.

Does anyone have a working F310 and 2.8.1 where the xy jog speed is truly proportional to the joystick?

Correction to previous post:

When I look at HalMeter and move the right joystick, abs-z-position and abs-rz-position give me the expected analog values scaled between -1..+1.

This is my first deep dive into the joystick, so I didn't mean to imply it broke in 2.8.1 just that it was what I was using.

My right joystick was working correctly and providing analog values, but D-Pad/hat and left joystick seemed mixed up.
I just went back to write down all the parameter values and pins and found that everything seems to be working correctly. I must have had something mixed up in my .hal.

So sorry for the confusion, it all seems ok. I will figure out how to update the wiki and add appropriate 2.8.1 examples for xyz and xz configurations.

Thanks for your help.

I'm happy with my joystick .hal changes. I have tested multiple xyz and xz configs on two different computers.

I'm working on the wiki update.

Couple questions:
1) Can I drop the pre-2.8 stuff? (old pin names)
2) Is there a drawing package with blocks for the hal components?

I updated the Simple Remote Pendant of the wiki.
I added some GraphViz HAL block diagrams that I think are useful.

The only thing I'd still like to do is figure out how to attach my joystick_xz.hal and joystick.xyz.hal files to the wiki so people don't have to cut and paste.
