That is interesting... I am using (I think) motion.feed-hold and don't think I have ever set M53 P1 - I thought that was only for motion.adaptive-feed sam On 01/05/2012 08:25 PM, Jon Elson wrote: > andy pugh wrote: >> On 5 January 2012 17:51, Jon Elson wrote: >> >> >>> Is there a feed hold

OK, one more thing in the same vein, The user wants a feed hold toggle button. The HAL component toggle is perfect for the push-on/push-off feature, but how do you implement this? Is there a feed hold input to motion (or whatever)? I looked around a bit and didn't find such. Thanks, Jon -

I don't remember it being a big deal to setup (but it has been a few months.) I have 1 rotory switch that selects FO, MV, SO, X jog, Y jog, and Z jog.Following a few examples like http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Hooking_Up_A_MPG_Pendant If I get a chance I will post the parts o

I have a customer wanting to use a jog pendant to change the feed and spindle overrides, as well as do jogging. I know how to do the jogging part, you feed the scaled MPG to axis.n.jog-counts and enable the desired axis with axis.n.jog-enable. How do you change the feed and spindle overrides, an
