Set G54 offset with a physical (joypad) button

Hi all,

We are still fine tuning our plasma cutter, and adding a few features. I have added a joypad as a pendant, got it to work after finding out that many HAL pins had changed names compared to several years ago, Anyway, got that worked.

Now we would like to see if it is possible to use a button on the joypad to set the X and Y offset if G54 to zero with the press off a button. I got the HAL pins for the buttons, just don't know if there is something in HAL to set G54 to zero, on either the X or Y axis. Any ideas ?

Cheers, Peter

I use this gcode in a gmocappy macro to centre my torch on a laser crosshair

Just fire a pierce at 0,0 and then move the laser to that position and record the offsets used below.

hi in your INI file in HALUI section whatever number you need to set you can leve unused axis clear

in the POSTGUI file that holds the Joypad pins
net yourpinnamed halui.mdi-command-00 <= input.0.btn-thumbr
net nextpin halui.mdi-command-01 <= input.0.btn-thumbl

Thank you so much, that works like a charm ! Really appreciate that !

Cheers, Peter
