jog wheel

[TurBoss]

Hello,

I'm having issues on my machine, i added a jog wheel with and encoder component from linuxcnc, but the machine is fighting me when i move it goes back to where it was :/

this is a stepper machine no feedback at all

I can upload the config in a hour or so

thank you so much

I saw there is a encoder plugin!

I'll try using it :)

unfortunately i don't have a test setup with encode at the moment,
but yes, there is a plugin that should also create a working hal

no worries, Thank you!

you can search in 'linuxcnc_config.py' for 'jogwheel'

uhh, there is an issue in the latest version, will fix it in 5 minutes:
