Management Summary: Use the mode button on my pendant to toggle Axis
between Manual and MDI mode.
Longer Version: I'm trying to stop myself cursing when I'm standing in
front of my mill twiddling the dial on my pendant, having nowt move and
glancing back over at the computer screen to see that Axis is in MDI
mode... trudging back over to the keyboard, muttering 'idiot' under my
breath, and pressing F3.
...or having remembered to set Axis into Manual mode before picking up the
pendant and twiddled the aforementioned dial to jog to just-above my
hand held touchoff plate, needing to switch Axis to MDI mode (while
still holding the touchoff plate on the top of the worksurface) so that
I can run my MDI-COMMAND based Z-touchoff probe routine.
Yes. I could do this with two buttons on the Pendant (assuming axis is
patched to support set-mdi-mode).
But one button that toggles is much neater - especially as I'm looking
at where the touchoff plate and tool are and not staring at the pendant
buttons (the button I'm using to toggle 'falls easily to hand').
FWIW - the flipping Axis mode isn't just me. qv the Linuxcnc forum
thread cited in the patch. I just wanted to go one step further and use
a single toggle button.
