Yes I do have some laying around, always good to practice on.

What type of lathe is that?

Mark, this an old Swedish CNC school lathe from late 90's

Here the new gear to be installed when I am fit enough to do it.

Lovely lathe. You are doing a great retrofit on it.

Got some mail today from China, 2x 100ppr encoders.
Directly to 7i76e
Want to use 1 analog input for selection of steps/detent so is following resitor values OK 1K 10K 100K?
What if using a 100K potentiometer = usable or not?

if you want to use a potentiometer for 7I76E analog inputs, 5K is a good choice
100K will work but will be quite non-linear. it will be correct at 0 and 100% but droop
significantly in the middle, that is at a 50% pot setting the analog reading will be around 15%.
This is because of the 22K load resistance of the 7I76E inputs

OK then 5K it is.
What is the pros and cons using pot versus selector switch?

I think that the selector switch is a better option as thats what LinuxCNC expects. If you use a 4 position binary coded switch, you can do it with just 2 inputs. That gives you 3 scales plus an off position
# Metric units used
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="firmware=hm2/7i76/7i76e.BIT num_encoders=1 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=5 sserial_port_0=2xxxx"
loadrt mux4 count=1
addf mux4.0 servo-thread
loadrt or2 count=4
addf or2.3 servo-thread
setp axis.x.jog-vel-mode 0
net x-jog-counter <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.enc0.count
net x-jog-counter => axis.x.jog-counts
net mux-in1 or2.3.in0 <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-22 => mux4.0.sel0
net mux-in2 or2.3.in1 <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-21 => mux4.0.sel1
net x-jog-enable <= or2.3.out
net x-jog-enable => axis.x.jog-enable
setp mux4.0.in0 0.0
setp mux4.0.in1 1.0
setp mux4.0.in2 0.1
setp mux4.0.in3 0.01
net x-jog-scale mux4.0.out => axis.x.jog-scale

I think using a wafer switch and fixed resistors into an analogue input is fairly cunning. You can have several positions into a single IO pin.
The HAL side can be a set of wcomp components or a lincurve component with the output converted to integer.
