## Source string
HOME_USE_INDEX requires connections in your HAL file to joint.n.index-enable
from the encoder.n.index-enable.
## Source string description
type: Plain text
## Comment
The documentation typically abbreviates axes in pin names with capital 'N's,
and joints with capital 'L's, if my short term memory serves me right. The
joint.n.index-enable should be joint.L.index-enable (ok, joint. _L_.index-
enable for the extra eye candy), and I think it would be helpful if an encoder
representing a joint would get the same variable symbol, i.e. encoder.L.index-
enable instead of the '.n.'.
Objection, Steffen.
That might lead to confusing us older hands. An encoder is a signal
source and it is
only married to a specific axis or joint in hal. Mixing and matching
names will contribute
to the confusion, not clarify it. An encoder signal is all by
itself(even if it might involve
6 actual wire its its hook is differential), until it is linked to an
axis or joint, spindle, what
have you in the hal files. We may note in our comments that THIS
encoder is on the
rear of the axix B motor but until we "net" link it in carving up a hal
file, it is an device
by itself totally unrelated to anything else in the system.
I'd have reservations about this being useful in the longer view. I
don't think it would
be helpful to the newbee because he would get the impression they are
somehow
connected when they are not until "net"ted together in a .hal file.
Meaningful "netnames", argv(1), to the net statement are another
critter entirely and totally
arbitrary.
