SYNOPSIS
halui [-ini <path-to-INI>]
DESCRIPTION
The program halui is used to build a User Interface using hardware knobs and switches. It exports a big number of pins, and acts accordingly when these change.
OPTIONS
- -ini filename
-
Use the filename as the configuration file. Note: halui must find the nml file specified in the INI, usually that file is in the same folder as the INI, so it makes sense to run halui from that folder.
USAGE
When run, halui will export a large number of pins. A user can connect those to his physical knobs & switches & leds, and when a change is noticed halui triggers an appropriate event.
Caveat, halui expects the signals to be debounced, so if needed (bad knob contact) connect the physical button to a HAL debounce filter first.

Max-velocity
- halui.max-velocity.count-enable bit in (default: TRUE)
-
When True, modify max velocity when halui.max-velocity.counts changes.
- halui.max-velocity.counts s32 in
-
When .count-enable is True, halui changes the max velocity in response to changes to this pin. It’s usually connected to an MPG encoder on an operator’s panel or jog pendant. When .count-enable is False, halui ignores this pin.
- halui.max-velocity.direct-value bit in
-
When this pin is True, halui commands the max velocity directly to (.counts * .scale). When this pin is False, halui commands the max velocity in a relative way: change max velocity by an amount equal to (change in .counts * .scale).
- halui.max-velocity.increase bit in
-
A positive edge (a False to True transition) on this pin increases the max velocity by the value of the .scale pin. (Note that halui always responds to this pin, independent of the .count-enable pin.)
- halui.max-velocity.decrease bit in
-
A positive edge (a False to True transition) on this pin decreases the max velocity by the value of the .scale pin. (Note that halui always responds to this pin, independent of the .count-enable pin.)
- halui.max-velocity.scale float in
-
This pin controls the scale of changes to the max velocity. Each unit change in .counts, and each positive edge on .increase and .decrease, changes the max velocity by .scale. The units of the .scale pin are machine-units per second.
