Hi Slammers
I sorted the permissions and got the terminal test running on my mill - V2.8 but unfortunately the lead mode still stays inactive - I was a little surprised so i downloaded your file again and ran through the process again just in case i had somehow mixed up the original file - but again no change, it appears that file you posted doesn't respond to 0x9b (lead position code) - is it possible that was the original code you not your recompiled version?
On my V2.9 linuxcnc sim PC I made the change to 0x9b in pendant.cc - compiled linuxcnc and verified lead mode is now active image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/cool.png - so that's a good start. I Just need to figure out how to compile the driver rather than everything.
In the meantime I am thinking I might just try my newly complied driver from 2.9 on my 2.8 machine - if it works then at least I can patch my development from 2.9 to 2.8 - and mean being less reliant on your time / help.
Appreciate any thoughts on why your file might not have changed the operation.
Cheers for all your help so far, its greatly appreciated.
