7i76e: MPG and Analog inputs with pncconf?

How do you connect that code to halui?
Can you make a HAL pin in the .axisrc file?

I have modified the hal file to usw ilopass for the mpgs:

this is working, but only for "jogincr.in00" the other increments 01,02 do not work anymore.
these worked before i added the ilowpass.

what is going wrong with my new hal?

i edited the second newest hal file, not the last one. this was my problem, now it is working.
@andypugh: i made the jogincr numbers smaler.

the maschine gos very smooth now with the mpgs!

## The above line is to be able to jog without homing ##

i added these two lines for x and z axis (joint 0 and 1). but i'm still not able to move the machine until it is homed.
Where can I find documentation on the subject?

Do you have this in the [TRAJ] section of the INI?

NO_FORCE_HOMING = 1

Yes i've this in my ini:
"[TRAJ]
COORDINATES = XZ
LINEAR_UNITS = mm
ANGULAR_UNITS = degree
DEFAULT_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 2.50
MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 25.00
POSITION_FILE = position.txt
NO_FORCE_HOMING = 1"

Hi

I'm just trying to import some analog value from MESA 7i76e into LinuxCNC.
I thought the input was working on 4..20 mA signal, but I probably is detecting only the voltage source

Somebody can tell me the range ? I guess 0 to 24 Volt , what I'm actually using now...

However I'm trying to get the corresponding value from the HAL meter, but probably I'm not reading the right signal...

From the HAL-meter , Parameter Tab, I look at
hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.analogin0

but I get simply a fix value, even if I change the voltage from 0 to 20 VDC

Some inputs ?
