[Emc-users] oneshot confusion

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

Once more the conciseness of a man page does not answer my question.

Specifically the man page for oneshot, which says:

oneshot.N.reset bit in
Reset

But doesn't state the logic level that would reset it if its currently a
running timer. Logic 0, or a logic 1?

With the hal file you can get from my web page, this timer runs for 5
seconds, and if, as the point is approached, the gain needs to be
reduced, presently I have to wait until the timer has expired before the
pushbuttion's push is recognized to put that dial in the gain control
mode again. If the logic 0 from the button can stop the timer, then the
gain mode can be re-entered at any time. I hope. Waiting 5 seconds after
the last dial motion to re-enter the gain setting mode seems like a huge
waste of time.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

It's reset by logic 1.

Your button probably offers an in-not pin that you could use.
