Title: External Jog speed ?
Post by: curtisturner on August 23, 2007, 07:08:16 PM

Can you hook up a pot to an analog input for variable jog speed? If so how?

Thanks

Hey Curtis,
    I haven't got to play with this yet. I'm interested in this myself. Did the jog input work for you?

Sure did, thanks for the help
I ended up just using the Jog Y++ entry in ports and pins (and did not require anything else)
More over, it stopped jogging when the button was released the other one did not.

Let me know if you come up with anything on the variable resistor to set the speed.
One thought I had was to map the buttons Jog speed decrease and increase to inputs
Where can i find the code for those buttons.

I would rather have a variable resister, but I will take what I can get.


Thanks
Curtis

LOL, Curtis, I sent you around your elbow to get to your thumb. Sorry about that.  ::) If you are meaning the oem codes, you can find those in the wiki. Here is a link. Scroll down to section 9.

IF you mean to find out what they are in the screen set, you can use screen 4 designer for that. In the downloads section, screens, screen 4.
