Also...
snip from the "my-mill.ini" file for you to dissect.
Code:
[HAL]
HALUI = halui
HALFILE = my-mill.hal
HALFILE = custom.hal
HALFILE = xhc-hb04-noel.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal
[HALUI]
# add halui MDI commands here (max 64)
MDI_COMMAND = o<probez> call ;#0
MDI_COMMAND = G1 X0 F1200 ;#1
MDI_COMMAND = G1 Y0 F1200 ;#2
MDI_COMMAND = G1 Z0 F1200 ;#3
MDI_COMMAND = o<x-half> call ;#4
MDI_COMMAND = o<y-half> call ;#5
MDI_COMMAND = o<z-half> call ;#6
MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P[#5220] X0 ;#7
MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P[#5220] Y0 ;#8
MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P[#5220] Z0 ;#9
MDI_COMMAND = G1 Z50 F1200 ;#10
MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P1 x0 ;#11
MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P1 y0 ;#12
MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P1 z0 ;#13
And some snips from the all- important XHX-04 hal-file!!
Code:
# GOTO ZERO button #################################################
net go0 xhc-hb04.button-goto-zero => and2.5.in0 and2.6.in0 and2.7.in0
net jog-x and2.5.in1
net jog-y and2.6.in1
net jog-z and2.7.in1
# MDI_COMMAND = G00 (X0,Y0,Z0)
net go-x0 halui.mdi-command-01 <= and2.5.out
net go-y0 halui.mdi-command-02 <= and2.6.out
net go-z0 halui.mdi-command-03 <= and2.7.out
# =HALF button #####################################################
net half0 xhc-hb04.button-half => and2.8.in0 and2.9.in0 and2.10.in0
net jog-x and2.8.in1
net jog-y and2.9.in1
net jog-z and2.10.in1
The MDI commands specified in lines similar to
net go-x0 halui.mdi-command-01 must exist first!!
I hope this helps you in your journey!
I have my system beaten into shape now, and this is a fantastic pendant for CNC.
Though I still use the good ol' gamepad for large - distance jogging!
