LINEAR POTENTIOMETERS

Is there some trick to getting Gmoccapy to accept overrides using the scale component with linear potentiometers. Specifically the spindle override. I have the proper pins connected and am getting the proper scale out to the proper pin... Gmoccapy seems to have custom overrides instead of using Hal....

Please post your files so we can see what you did.

First of all
this is related to a postgui HAL File not the mashine hal as it is main used by the Gmoccapy not the mashiine

I do not want to tie my hands to Gmoccapy. Is there a way to use this as i have it configured? I'm not really sure how your comment is helpful..

Why double posting

where did you connect your potenziometer to on the 7i92-7i77

in the postgui file NOT the HAL
red the pin
scale it and get it to

hi there is a HALUI section in the ini and also inside the POSTgui HAL
your in i loads up a Coustom_postgui file that is inside the machine fiolder

THERE you need to connect to a halui pin NOT IN THE MAIN HAL
see here the pinnames for spindle override
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/halui.1.html

I'm connected to analogin1 as the hal file shows.

Ok, this is my 2nd build with Linuxcnc and i never understood the need for a postgui hal file. The first build was successful using the main hal file exclusively. I'll try that.
