If I understand this correctly then you want to use an external signal to jog the x axis.
For that you could use 'halui.axis.x.plus' and 'halui.axis.x.minus'
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/halui.1.html
:
Code:
net jog-x-pos <= your_signal_plus => halui.axis.x.plus
net jog-x-neg <= your_signal_minus => halui.axis.x.minus
Note this will only let you jog after homing. If you need jogging before homing as well you would need to add 'halui.joint.N.plus' and 'halui.joint.N.minus' as well (with N being the joint number for your x-axis):
Code:
net jog-x-pos <= your_signal_plus => halui.axis.x.plus => halui.joint.N.plus
net jog-x-neg <= your_signal_minus => halui.axis.x.minus => halui.joint.N.minus
