Created a small component for the user panel on my EMCO5-to-become. The machine has a small user panel with three buttons with indicator lights. The three buttons are labelled:
- start: should start the GCode if any is loaded;
- pause / feed-hold: when active, it pauses the current program. When paused, one can step through the program by pressing the start button;
- stop: stops any program currently active.
The indicator lights should show whether:
- button/mode is enabled: on;
- button/mode is active: blinking (e.g. the start button is blinking when a program is running);
- button/mode is disabled: off.
The above is certainly possible with a HAL file and loads of
and and
or ports and I have seen an example on this forum (cannot find it now though). In my opinion it clutters the HAL-file and is not really readable, so instead I created a component so the behavior can be nicely defined in a states.
Maybe someone finds it useful for their machine.
