Hello all,
I am trying to create a brain control that when I activate Input #1 it changes the DRO #3(Slow jog rate DRO screen 50) to a specified rate?
Thanks,
Raul

Not sure about the brain, but you can add a vb script button on the screen with a shortcut key activated by Input 1.

That is the way I have it right now. I was looking to see if there was a way with brains. So no matter what screen i'm in, brains can read the input.
Thank you for your response ger21

ger21 thanks for the response.
Well after viewing that post, fooling around with brains and looking at different brains for MPG's, I figured out how to change the DRO for slow jog rate via an input. I used a lobe formula that I have no idea how it works but it works! I installed a 6 position selector switch on the control panel that I am putting together. Wired up the selector switch to pokeys, I used OEM Triggers as the inputs and created a brain that will give me 6 specific percentile rates for the slow jog rate. The rates that I created was 5,10,20,50,80 and 100%. I have attached the brain file.
Maybe someone might be able to explain how the lobe formula works.
Thanks again,
Raul
