Controlling feed with potentiometer

Hi,

i have the same problem. A+B are changing in HAL but no counting How did you fix it?

My custom_postgui.hal:

Greets from Germany
Manuel

Is the encoder update-counters function added to a realtime thread?
There are two functions, one for the base thread and one for the servo thread.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/encoder.9.html

Is the reset pin set to 1 by any chance?

Hi Andy,

i think i haven't added the update-counters function to a realtime thread... Because i don't know how to do :S

The only thing I addet to my machine.hal is:

and to my machine.ini

I have read the encoder-help you linked 3 times but my english is to bad to understand what I have to do that my encoder counts.

All these things I have changed are from here: wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Spindleoverride . Not less and not more :whistle:

The "manpages" such as that linked contain the information about a HAL component in a standard format. If you are lucky the author of the component also gives some explanation of what the component does and how to use it.

"Synopsis" tells you how to load the component in to HAL. In your case this would be "Functions" tells you which functions need to be added to real-time threads. In your case this would be "Pins" lists all the HAL pins created by the component and what they do.
"Parameters" are setting which can be altered by the HAL file but can not be linked to HAL pins.

You are my man!! Thank you for the explanation, it works perfect! :silly: :silly:
