I'm not on the latest version -- I'm still at 2.7.8. Attached are my "old" and "new" files. You can compare them to see where to change the code. Insert 1 line, insert 5 lines, insert 1 line. See attached.
I'm not really that fluent in Linux, so I grabbed the axis file on my system, took it to my windoze desk PC and compared it to your file in Notepad++. I have made the changes that made sense, ignored others which are version related and copied back to the linux machine (obviously making a backup copy of the original axis beforehand). This did not work! Running linuxcnc failed saying that it did not have permission to run axis.....
Second attempt: ran through the changes locally on linux (in gedit). Did the exact same modifications I had done earlier. Saved and VOILA! Ran perfectly and reload pin works like a charm.
