I have I guess quite recent version of this pendant and have successfully tested on 2.5.2, Frederic also adjusted it for smooth jog in case of using it in world mode..     Now I have installed also 2.6.0-pre (run in place) and there I'm receiving an error, described here:

[Emc-users] axis.py - how to question

Is it possible to somehow update axis.py in my installed linuxcnc (2.5.2)   I would need to add few string related to automatic forcing to world mode   If so, where can I find original axis.py file, to modify it, and how to compile it (if needed)?

Re: [Emc-users] Round column mill/drill conversion

I was also thinking that way, and put it on local ebay and there is quite a lot interest for it, so it will probably be sold in short... I already briefly went trough available machines (locally) and found this candidate, for reasonable price ..

Re: [Emc-users] Jog in world mode - increments

Ok, here is the situation I have related to my previous question. I have MPG control which works perfectly in joint mode. Now what would be the solution to make it useful also in world mode, where only continuous jog is possible? What could be the reason that when I switch to world mode

[Emc-users] Jog in world mode - increments

I'm what could be the reason that when I switch to world mode (after homing) Jog increments selection drop-down menu is greyed out, so I cannot select any jog increment (it stays locked on continuous).In joint mode works ok.

Re: [Emc-users] USB Pendant (XHC HB04)

I would need some help with xhc-hb04.c, I'm trying to compile it, but getting errors on stdlib.h, stdio.h, string.h, math.h probably missing some dev libraries?  I tried with sudo apt-get install build-essential but no success... I have developed a HAL module for this kind of MPG
