Troubles to get started with SD240 Retrofit

No, sorry- doesn´t do it. No jogging the selected axis possilble.

Does normal motion work?

When attempting jogging, what does:

halcmd show pin | grep jog

(typed in a terminal) report?

Yes, normal jogging with the + - buttons works perfectly. 
the command brings up the following when I write the command into the terminal and press ENTER while turning the handwheel.
 
 

Note that no axis has jog enabled, you probably need to trace these back
to halui or wherever they are supposed to come from...


29 s32 IN 38852 axis.x.jog-counts <== axis-selected-count
29 bit IN FALSE axis.x.jog-enable <== axis-select-x
29 float IN 1 axis.x.jog-scale <== selected-jog-incr
29 bit IN FALSE axis.x.jog-vel-mode
29 bit OUT FALSE axis.x.kb-jog-active
29 bit OUT FALSE axis.x.wheel-jog-active
29 float IN 1 axis.y.jog-accel-fraction
29 s32 IN 0 axis.y.jog-counts
29 bit IN FALSE axis.y.jog-enable
29 float IN 0 axis.y.jog-scale
29 bit IN FALSE axis.y.jog-vel-mode
29 bit OUT FALSE axis.y.kb-jog-active
29 bit OUT FALSE axis.y.wheel-jog-active
29 float IN 1 axis.z.jog-accel-fraction
29 s32 IN 38852 axis.z.jog-counts <== axis-selected-count
29 bit IN FALSE axis.z.jog-enable <== axis-select-z
29 float IN 1 axis.z.jog-scale <== selected-jog-incr
29 bit IN FALSE axis.z.jog-vel-mode
29 bit OUT FALSE axis.z.kb-jog-active

Thanks for the hint.
I will try to find out how these pins can be set TRUE when starting Linuxcnc.
Ok, the y-axis I do not need for the lathe, but X and Z. So some homework to do.

Thanks PCW

I think I probably detected the source of these  weird settings disabling jog. Guess it can just be the Config file. Nowhere else I can find a similar demonination of the pins etc.
I have to check this, but I started with a config file created by PC-Config and without MPG included.
Then I had PC-Config create a new one with a different name and copied the MPG related lines of the newly created .hal file to my existing .hal file.
But the config file is still the initial one (without MPG) and therefore jogging is disabled.
I will try this weekend to create a new config file with PC-Config, include the MPG and all data I know mean while. Hope to get it working this way.
