Contour shuttle pro 2 alternative4/28/2023 ![]() I think you could map the integer values to a 16 bit bitmap that could be used to set the discrete pins. It would actually be very similar to this example I shared recently /plasma-laser/36410-co.are?start=140#140416 This maps a float input to 4 digital pins based on thresholds of the axis position. I've extended this to a 6 way selector on my pendant using a mux8 but I'm only using the first 3 for now but I thought the others might be handy for feed override or something.Īnother alternative would be to use a custom component to decode your 15 integer values. It has all the axis select for jogging covered. Regarding axis selection and jog wheels, I have an example for a 7i76e on my build thread here /show-your-stuff/32029.build?start=20#85279 With a gantry, I would just forget about the joint mode and live with hitting home all as you power up. You will need a couple of steps to confer the float down to a bit. The inner ring or jog rotates through 360 degrees and provides precision frame by frame control. Nine (9) of the buttons have removable keycaps for easy labeling and referencing. There is a component called lincurve that might let you map the -1 to +1 discrete values assuming its a float. The ShuttlePRO V.2 is designed for ergonomic integrity and maximizing productivity, allowing one-hand access to the fully programmable buttons and jog/shuttle knob.

There's a halui jog section, including some inputs for the selected axis, but I don't see how to select an axis for jogging in halui. ![]() I could just scale the value, but would prefer to set the values explicitly. I can't find any kind of s32 lookup table component. I'd like to map the ring, which outputs an integer from -7 to 7 (or a float from -1 to 1), to arbitrary jog speeds. I'd like to use the buttons primarily to select the active jog axis, but halui.joint.0.sel doesn't seem to do the trick (and how do I deal with joints vs axes in joint mode or axis mode on my gantry table?). The ShuttleXpress has a number of momentary buttons, a spring-loaded ring that returns to center, and an encoder wheel you can spin. I've looked at a few configurations I've found online (the most thorough so far is Okay, now that I've got LinuxCNC seeing my ShuttleXpress, I'm having trouble wiring it up.
