Interesting pendent issue..... was created by Jake
Once I had upgraded to 2.8 I have run into a issue with pendent use.  Once the machine is started up and going I can use the pendent (Vista pendent).  I have position data on the screen on the pendent also.  Once a MIDI command occurs or it has been put into auto and run a program the pendent is no longer functional.  The screen on the pendent also just says "linuxcnc" like it does when Linuxcnc is not running.  I am finally getting back around to dealing with this......

From what I understand the joints and axes were separated in 2.8 forward. meaning if its using a USB the VistaCNC driver will need to be updated 
. Or a hard wired Pendant installed.

Before 2.8 joints were hard coded 0=x, 1=y, 2=z etc.
Now the axes are independent of axes.
If your pendant works with joints and not axes, it could get it wrong...

I did upgrade the pendent to the latest firmware version V1.20 which was posted 12/13/19. I though 2.8 came out September 2022 time frame.

I have a email in to Vista to see if they have any insight. The pendent is USB its the Vista P4S

So this is all in the firmware of the pendent and not anywhere in the HAL files ?

The P4S HAL file that I am using was for 2.8 pre and 2.9 pre


Code:

The HAL looks to be 2.8+ compatible. So it's not that.

Response from Vista was to toggle LinuxCNC from MDI F5 to Manual F3. Or after a program has been run to toggle MDI F5 then to Manual F3. He said this has been the work around since 2.7. I made the jump from 2.6 to 2.8, which I do miss having the pause button on the pendent, I will have to add a button on the control console for that. It appears that LinuxCNC ignores the pendent completely when it is not in manual, as the screen goes to its default powered up screen.
