[Emc-users] Joypad button to tell axis to move?
I have a Saitek P880 joypad. It works REALLY great to do the following: 1) Control X, Y and Z with joyhandles (little levers sticking out of the joypad) 2) Make some buttons like input.0.btn-pinkie to control HAL pins to give HAL pause and resume commands. The nice thing is that depending on how much I deflect joyhandles, the speed of movement is selected accordingly. Unfortunately, I used both joyhandles and have no more of them available. For two more axis, I would like to use regular joypad buttons (not joyhandles) to tell the axis to move forward or back with predetermined speed. kind of like (incorrect) net moveAAxisLeft input.0.btn-top2 = halui.move-axis-A-left In other words: when I press a certain button, I want a given axis to start moving in a given direction at a predetermined speed. When I release that button, I want movement to stop. How can I set that up. thanks -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

When I release that button, I want movement to stop. How can I set that up. Look at the mux4 component. define states 00 and 11 to be 0 output, 01 to be +speed and 10 to be -speed. Then link the buttons to the sel0 and sel1 pins: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/man/man9/mux4.9.html -- atp Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

This should get you started: http://softsolder.com/2010/10/23/logitech-gamepad-as-emc2-pendant-eagle-schematics-for-the-joggy-thing/ I wrote up a somewhat more elaborate version for Digital Machinist magazine. You can fetch the files (but not the article itself) from: http://www.digitalmachinist.net/files/downloads/2010Winter/DM%205.4% 20Nisley.zip There's a bit of trickery in that version to avoid some race conditions, but the overall logic is straightforward. As soon as I got it set up, there was no going back! -- Ed http://softsolder.com -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
