I totally agree with you, axis is really not set up for touch operations like feed, jogging and touching off. But there is one great thing to get this done imho the "royal" way: use a wireless joypad (mine is still on its way to me, so I use a USB logitech joypad for the time being)! I have it set up like this: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant using this hal file with minor change: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?A_New_Approach_For_Using_Joypads_With_EMC2 look at the bottom for "upload:joypad_v3.hal" The very ingenous way to jog is, it is progressive. The more analog stick you give it, the faster it moves. Just great and would not like to miss it anymore! > Once touched off, the run/pause/stop buttons are fine.

I guess so, but I still have buttons free in my joypad. So I will set the joypad up to play them once I got some time. I will publish the modified file here when done. greets chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sie sind Spam leid? Yahoo!
