adding a pendant to the system

it is currently operational in a mach3 CNC-router... so i know it is operational but not sure how to get it running on

Yess and I even re-plugged the pendant as well giving it a proper time to set up...still gives the same error on start up of linuxcnc.

And the baby works!!!! lovit now i need to do the folowing...

the device is an keyboard... i know it is quite a limiting factor but how can i link the buttons "*" and "/" to feed override more and feed over ride less? and got
"+" and "-" that need to do spindle override as my esc button on it seems to be taged as E-stop...

Well how did you get it to work?

Take a look here...

wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Halui

Here are some of the pins you may want to connect to..

halui.feed-override.value float //current FO value
halui.feed-override.scale float // pin for setting the scale on changing the FO
halui.feed-override.counts s43 //counts from an encoder for example to change FO
halui.feed-override.increase bit // pin for increasing the FO (+=scale)
halui.feed-override.decrease bit // pin for decreasing the FO (-=scale)

So using halui you may be able to connect your buttons to the feed-override.increase / decrease to get the desired effect.

Same for spindle...

halui.spindle-override.value float //current SO value
halui.spindle-override.scale float // pin for setting the scale on changing the SO
halui.spindle-override.counts s43 //counts from an encoder for example to change SO
halui.spindle-override.increase bit // pin for increasing the SO (+=scale)
halui.spindle-override.decrease bit // pin for decreasing the SO (-=scale)

An example when using a joypad could be...

is there a way to rather change the shortcut keys on Linux CNC console to acompany my pendant seing it uses the keyboard strokes i only need to change them to get my pendant working properly

xev in terminal to determine the diferences between keys pressed on my keyboard and the pendant and they seem to be similar...reason i want to change theshortcut keys on my linuxcnc rater

umm was about to but im not clued up on that 2nd paragraph... where ~/.axisrc file is
