Ok, for starters I'd uncomment the mist and flood connection to the parallel port pins in your main hal file.
Then in your post gui hal do something like this:

# Include your customized HAL commands here
# The commands in this file are run after the AXIS GUI (including PyVCP panel) starts

sets spindle-at-speed true

loadrt toggle2nist names=toggle.0,toggle.1

addf toggle.0 servo-thread
addf toggle.1 servo-thread

######## Probe Led ########
net probe-in => pyvcp.probe-in

######## Mist Button ########
net mist-toggle toggle.0.in <= pyvcp.coolant-mist
net mist-on toggle.0.on => halui.mist.on
net mist-off toggle.0.off => halui.mist.off

######## Mist Led########
net mist-control halui.mist.is-on => toggle.0.is-on => pyvcp.mist.is-on

######## Air Button ########

######## Panel Jogging Button ########
# connect the X pyVCP buttons

I would like to use the panel buttons as I can simply click the mouse any time to operate, if I cant find a workaround or the exact code in the right place a three position switch might have to do.

There is no point hard-wiring it, my 3-way switches operate in HAL. However I have plenty of IO to interface them with.

You already have:

net coolant-mist => parport.0.pin-14-out
net coolant-flood => parport.0.pin-16-out

That creates two signals (coolant-mist, coolant-flood) and connects them to parport pins. Keep that but remove any other lines using those signals.

I have just remembered that the normal mux4 does not handle bit signals. This was probably your problem. We will use mux-generic.

Now, in the postGUI hal file (and after making sure that the postgui HAL file is mentioned in the [HAL] section of the INI file add this.

loadrt mux_generic config="bb4,bb4"

#This line prints out the actual names of the mux pins, just in case
show pin mux-*

addf mux-gen.00 servo-thread
addf mux-gen.01 servo-thread

net flood-manual-off pyvcp.flood-manual-off  =>  mux-gen.01.sel-bit-00
net flood-manual-on pyvcp.flood-manual-on => mux-gen.01.sel-bit-01
net mist-manual-off pyvcp.mist-manual-off  => mux-gen.01.sel-bit-00
net mist-manual-on pyvcp.mist-manual-on  =>mux-gen.01.sel-bit-01

net flood-auto iocontrol.0.coolant.flood =>  mux-gen.00.in-bit-00
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-01 0
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-01 1
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-03 0
net coolant-flood <= mux-gen.00.out-bit

net mist-auto iocontrol.0.coolant.mist =>  mux-gen.01.in-bit-00
setp mux-gen.01.in-bit-01 0
setp mux-gen.01.in-bit-01 1
setp mux-gen.01.in-bit-03 0
net coolant-mist <= mux-gen.01.out-bit

I have not tested this, I am some distance from my LinuxCNC machine

Thanks guys
I would never have been able to code like that, I will check tonight after work or first thing Saturday morning and let you know how I go.

Todd & Andy

Thankyou for your help.
I have used Todd's postgui.hal and both auto & manual switches work exactly how I want them too, I may have to put a debounce in because of the buttons on the mouse I'm using are a bit clicky sometimes.
I will try your code aswell Andy as I have another idea that I want to implement soon that would work well with an auto/off/on type setup.
Thanks again for your help.
Philip
