[Emc-users] Manually Setting Motion Analog Digital Output Values

I want to switch to using motion analog/digital outputs and M6x commands for control of temperatures, fans, etc. on my 3D printer, but I can't figure out how to change these values manually. When I use an M1xx code and a HAL signal, I can just use halcmd to set the desired value regardless of

I'm not an expert, but maybe it is because your analog output is associated with a given axis/joint, If you remove the axis, so that it is not controlled by the motion controller, may be it is possible to set the value as you intend. In this case the given motion.analog-out-00 is not hal-wired

As Seb says, those pins are outputs from motion, and can be controlled ONLY by g-code. I think you can do better than the mux approach though. For example, use a summer, and add a manually adjustable (PyVCP or gladeVCP) temperature trim value to the main value coming from the g-code. Or maybe
