update, you are telling me there are axis pins to do that, but there are no axis IN pins in halshow, that control the axis "active" radio buttons. This is from the pi, and 2 of my 3 wintel machines. Is there some option that has to be enabled on the loadrt line to make them visible? There are OUT pins that show, only for the duration of a keyboad jog, but the pi is the only machine with actual jog dials, mounted on the carriage's new apron. Thanks Chris, but I am not finding what I need. Yet. > Cheers, Gene Heskett. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
