Thanks - it's tough becoming a newbie again :=)
I noticed that with a standard system plugging in the shuttle wheel gives a
new input device "mouse2" and the jog ring works like the scroll wheel.
I set up the rule (including == in the pattern!) and get no error message.
However I get no new device other than mouse2
So I set up a shuttle.hal file with: loadusr hal_input mouse2 (it is in
group plugdev)
and put HALFILE = shuttle.hal in my EMC2 .ini file
No errors starting EMC-AXIS (from Trunk) (although there are if one
misspells as laodusr - so I must be executing it :=)
The odd thing is I see no new Signals nor indeed any input component in
Machine>Show Hal Configuration
Can you suggest: (a) how to stop the device being automatically seen as a
mouse and (b) what tests I can do to see what I might be doing wrong with my
hal_input
Thanks
