Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / USB MPG Rotary Encoder
« on: August 19, 2011, 04:29:01 AM »
I am trying to create a plugin for a custom USB MPG using the ShuttlePro example in the SDK.
Is there any documentation that explains what all those variables are for in the example? Its not clear to me how to tell MACH to simply move a specific number of steps. I don't own a ShuttlePro so I can't single step through the code to see that all the variables do and my attempts to modify the code to work with my encoder have resulted in either continuous jogging or no movement at all. Basically I don't know what I'm supposed to do with some of the variables used in the example.
For starters, what are the following for?
MainPlanner->m_Increment
_setup->Rotation
I hope someone can shed some light on this or point me in the right direction.
