Not sure if this is the right sub forum...

I'm trying to make buttons move things. My build now homes (!!) but I was hoping to set up the buttons on the stepper boxes to trim things up without reaching for the Gmoccapy screen. Gmoccapy jogs nicely both in steps and continuous mode. I want continuous mode on the switches.

I've worked through the manual and so I wrote my postgui.hal
Code:
# Put HAL commands in this file that you want to run after the GUI loads loadrt debounce cfg=6 addf debounce.0 servo-thread setp debounce.0.delay 15 setp halui.joint.jog-speed 10 net jog-x-plus-raw debounce.0.0.in <= hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-08 net jog-x-plus debounce.0.0.out => halui.joint.0.plus net jog-x-minus-raw debounce.0.1.in <= hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-09 net jog-x-minus debounce.0.1.out => halui.joint.0.minus net jog-y-plus-raw debounce.0.2.in <= hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-11 net jog-y-plus debounce.0.2.out => halui.joint.1.plus net jog-y-minus-raw debounce.0.3.in <= hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-12 net jog-y-minus debounce.0.3.out => halui.joint.1.minus net jog-z-plus-raw debounce.0.4.in <= hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-14 net jog-z-plus debounce.0.4.out => halui.joint.2.plus net jog-z-minus-raw debounce.0.5.in <= hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-15 net jog-z-minus debounce.0.5.out => halui.joint.2.minus

and check everything

I hit the buttons and see the bits pass throught to the halui but nothing moves.
I'm reading the manuals but they're a bit big when you aren't sure what you're loking for and google doesn't
have a fix.
SO I'm using a Mesa 7i95t set up with mesact.
I am using joint rather than axis as I would like the buttons to be available for 'sort it out'
moments when homing might not be an option.
I'm probably doing something dumb but humour me.

Make sure that you have a jog speed set, for example:

setp halui.axis.jog-speed 100

Also, not related to the jog question but you can avoid the debounce
by setting the "slow" parameter for the assosciated inmux  pins.

Thanks to all
Final working version attached including debounce mods suggested because I hate googling for a fix that ends 'thank you' but keeps the fix secret.
Quite what is different I'm not sure but it works before you home stuff which is what I wanted.
Now I can get on with making the Pendant actually move things rather than move and then jump back to the start position
but that would be another thread I guess.
Code:
##  Jog Switches ##  ============ # NB this only works PRIOR to homing. After that use the MPG setp halui.joint.jog-speed 100 # Use the Mesa driver built in debounce (25mS rather than 25uS) setp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-08-slow true setp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-09-slow true setp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-11-slow true setp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-12-slow true setp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-14-slow true setp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-15-slow true # Copy the switches to the joint inputs net jsw-xp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-08 => halui.joint.0.plus net jsw-xm hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-09 => halui.joint.0.minus net jsw-yp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-11 => halui.joint.1.plus net jsw-ym hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-12 => halui.joint.1.minus net jsw-zp hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-14 => halui.joint.2.plus net jsw-zm hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-15 => halui.joint.2.minus
