The scaling does not happen in the Mesa layer, it happens in the HAL driver. But, the encoder scale is a parameter, not a pin, so you can't change it in HAL. What I would do would be to pass the hm2_..._position and hm2..._...velocity through a pair of "scale" HAL functions with the scaling factor for both chosen by a "mux2" controlled by the gear selection before connecting to the motion... pins. You might be able to use the "gearchange" component for this (or, specifically, two more instances of the component) as this is basically what it does, ie switch between two scales. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
