Andy That's great
Looking at the syntax of G10, I think I would need to add [HALUI] # mdi-command-00 Touch off X MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P0 X0 # mdi-command-01 Touch off Y MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P0 Y0 # mdi-command-02 Touch off Z MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P0 X0 to my INI file I should then be able to add # Assign buttons to touch off commands net touch-off-x halui.mdi-command-00 <= input.0.btn-base5 net touch-off-y halui.mdi-command-01 <= input.0.btn-base6 net touch-off-z halui.mdi-command-02 <= input.0.btn-base7 to my postgui.hal file Sounds simple enough. I'll give it a go tonight. This will save having to reach for the keyboard after using the joystick to move to the touch off position.
