halui looks for INI variables named [HALUI]MDI_COMMAND, and exports a pin for each command it finds. When the pin is driven TRUE, halui runs the specified MDI command. XX is a two digit number starting at 00. If no [HALUI]MDI_COMMAND variables are set in the INI file, no halui.mdi-command-XX pins will be exported by halui.

pin for stopping mist

pin for starting mist

When True, modify max velocity when halui.max-velocity.counts changes.

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.

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).

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.)

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.)

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.
