Post Console buttons - Pause, set home, and pen control (mega)

Hi Guys,

I have wired up a 3 buttons on my polargraph surface (to compliment the 2 on my polargraph mega unit):
- Set home (based on home.txt on the SD card)
- Pen up / down toggle
- Pause / Resume
(The buttons on my unit are execute comm.txt and reload SD card)

The pause works well for automated drawings... It's a bit flakey if you try and pause a job sent by the controller - but the controller has a queue pause button anyway. It will pause execution at the next drawing step, or immediately in the norwegian process.

The buttons are all wired the same - switch for 5v with a pull down resistor.

Sandy - you mentioned you have a git repository somewhere.. Do you have further details? Otherwise I can just stick it on a svn repository

Hi, looking good. I've just set up the Git repo at github (https://github.com/euphy/polargraph) so please feel free to fork it. It's the first time I've set up a github though, so it's very possible I made a mess of it. But I need to get used to using GIT so I guess development will switch to that eventually. Once I figure out what I'm doing. I think the forking opportunities are worth any initial discomfort.

cheers!

Look in embedded/polargraph_server_mega_mod

There is currently a bug in the location sync code... I think I have to re-think my bluetooth strategy
