mux4 for axis select??

mux4 for axis select?? was created by OT-CNC
I'm working on a jog pendant/ MPG handwheel. I have the mux4 component working for jog increment select based on MPG pendant
examples:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/mpg.html
Question is, is there a way to implement mux4 for axis select? Based on the mux4 manual it only works with input values:
linuxcnc.org/docs/ja/html/man/man9/mux4.9.html
I'm a bit short on wiring and I'm looking for a workaround to do axis select A,X,Y,Z with 2 inputs.

mux_generic can have bit output pins.

I just looked at the doc:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/mux_generic.9.html
Is there a good hal example out there that uses the 2 inputs that I can look at to adapt?

Sorry I lead you astray... looks like mux_generic wouldnt do what you wish.
Seems you actually need to de-multiplex signals.
so 2 bit inputs control 4 bit outputs.
you may need to compile a custom component or use classicladder.
Some one else may have a smarter answer for you yet...

I think this would do it:
component dmux2 "Select one of four output values";
pin in bit sel0;
pin in bit sel1;
pin out bit out0;
pin out bit out1;
pin out bit out2;
pin out bit out3;
function _;
license "GPL";
;;
FUNCTION(_) {
if(sel0) {
if(sel1) {
out0 =0;
out1 =0;
out2 =0;
out3 =1;
}else{
out0 =0;
out1 =1;
out2 =0;
out3 =0;
}
}else {
if(sel1) {
out0 =0;
out1 =0;
out2 =1;
out3 =0;
}else{
out0 =1;
out1 =0;
out2 =0;
out3 =0;
}
}
}

I think you can do this with the hal logic component.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/logic.9.html
I'll have to think on it a bit to be able to give you an example how to use it in your hal file.
Till then, maybe Andy (I think he wrote this little gem) will chime in with instructions.

Never mind logic doesn't work.
It might not be as elegant as writing a component, but you could do it by simply using 4 and2s connected to the your two input pins and their inverses.
X=00
Y=01
Z=10
A=11
If you were using parallel ports pin 9 and 10 as your inputs it would look something like this.

I appreciate the leads. I will try the last example and see if I can adapt it.
Thank you!

This could also be done with
multiswitch
But I am not sure it is worth the bother, because you would have to turn the input bits into a number with weighted_sum and then, because select8 takes a signed-32 input (for no good reason) you would need to convert to S32 with conv_s32_u32
An alternative would be to use 4 x binary mux4 components (from mux_generic with each having three zero inputs and one true input.
Or 4 x lut5

I don't think you need a special component. I have used a Mux8 and Select8 for axis select. I only have 3 axes but my pendant had a 6 position switch. The trick is to convert the type to use it in the select8.
This is basically identical to the way I select the scale using a Mux4.
I think I copied everything I used.
