I'm ALMOST finished enabling my Logitech Dual Action gamepad with emc2 2.3.4. I have a couple of things I'd like to do but don't know the best way to start with it.
I'm using a pendant hal configuration that is a variation of this one (with some alterations/corrections for my system) For some reason the flood toggle didn't work for me.. so I had to do my own with help from some of the other entries in the knowledgebase. If anyone wants my file, let me know.. I'd be glad to share.. I just have to decide which functions I want permanently attached to which buttons. http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Using_A_Joypad_To_Jog_And_Control_Spindle_Speeds Here's my questions/problems: 1) Toggle key functions: I've programmed on/off buttons (a single button controls both on and off) for Mist Coolant On/Off (actually my swarf sucker), Spindle On/ Off, and Machine On/Off. They work great but for one exception. I sometimes get either a key bounce when pressing the button, or the software processes 2 or more repeat key presses when I press it once (a timing thing) which turns it on/off/on/off/on etc before I can release the key - sometimes it takes a couple of tries. Is there a way to slow this response down.. or only accept a single press at a time or some such? Or am I missing the boat and there's something else going on? 2) Hat Jog Function: I would like to make the hat button on the controller jog the x and y axis by a fixed amount (i.e. 0.01" or 0.001" or maybe whatever is selected in the menu in Axis) each time it is pressed. I may go as far as using a modifier button, and the hat together to make it do the same for the Z axis.... but not sure yet. Is there a simple way to do this easily (or get started)? Has someone already done this so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? Thanks.
