I'm having a pretty tough time putting this together in hal. I've been bouncing back and forth with the docs and so far I have a custom.hal file that probably doesn't make any sense.
Any chance you could help me out with an example?

I'm working on this and I could have sworn that in halshow the hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.input-index pin would go true as the sensor on it went high. If I setp index-enable true the sensor going high changes the enable pin to false so I know it's being seen by the board. I should just be able to put the updown function on a field input right? we're probably talking 50hz max. Any Idea of the max GPIO speed? I'm sure it's above 50hz

Both the hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.input-index pin and the field I/O are sampled at the servo thread rate so normally every
1 millisecond. So as long as the input high and low times are greater than 1 ms you should be fine
You may not see them reliably using the watch or halmeter functions since with default settings,
the GUI is only updated about 10 times per second, but you can check them with halscope.

I'm was triggering the sensor slowly by hand, I never changed to voltage divider so the pin may not have been going completely low, but it did trigger index-enable false. the GPIO input
I'm writing a new hal file for this and I'm using updown as you suggested for the sensor I'm using for the index and it works.
My issue is I'm not sure what to do with the comparator you mentioned, I can't figure out how that works.
right now im trying to run encoder counts into another updown which might work but I'm afraid I'm using too much software to do this.

I figured out the use of comparator and actually managed to write a hal file. This works exactly as intended.
Would you say this is an efficient way to do this?
