This is a specific case that the NIST folks should be avoided also :) It's not possible though, there's no way to prevent any user interface from sending commands to the EMC task controller. > How would one remove the override setting feature from AXIS? > You could remove the code that creates the slider, and any code that assigns keyboard shortcuts to move the slider (I don't know that there are keyboard shortcuts for this) > Maybe an incremental encoder would be better? > Yes. Connect it to halui.spindle-override.counts. If you have an absolute encoder that also outputs gray code, just connect the two lowest bits to the incremental encoder inputs.
