need help wired behavior of comp pin does not exis

I am writing (and learning ) a tool changer component being a developer helps in that case. But i encountered a very strange behavior
I did stop with my first writing and used an existing component which had much better debouncing and error handling then mine ,..
i am verry happy so far but ,..
i configured the pins in the hal file as expected and gives me an xxx pin does not exist.
it was there i looked even in the ko file.

i then translated the pin name in german (my mother language) did an change all in gedit
and now it works but mentions then 4th pin
has anyone had such behavior ?

look at maschineistan was machine_on

looks like
component ncarouselatc "This component controls an Bridgeport 412 Interact type carousel Tool Changer - iocontrol calls this";
// pin in bit carousel_change "Request a tool change ";
pin in bit turncarousel "Receives signal to start turning";
pin in float reqpocketnumber "The pocketnumber of the desired new tool. Range is to the turret-capacity param";
pin in bit qd_complete "Reset signal from the Quickdraw Tool Changer that the current operation is completeThis input is debounced. The reset output from the tool changer is pulsed each time a pocket passes into position.";
pin in bit maschineistan "Receives signal to start turning";
pin in bit qd_auto "Indication that the tool changer is in auto mode. This input is debounced.";
pin in bit magindex "Indication of pocket 1 debounced";
pin in bit magcount "Linked to every tool -> proximity";
pin in bit error_reset "Clears any error condition. Normally wired to an operator error-reset button.";
/* Pins to control the Quickdraw hardware */
pin out bit toolmagturnright "Turret-CW command to the tool changer. Asserting this output causes the tool-changer hardware to move the carousel clockwise (decreasing pocket numbers)";
pin out bit toolmagturnleft "Turret-CCW command to the tool changer. Asserting this output causes the tool-changer hardware to move the carousel counterclockwise (increasing pocket numbers). ";
pin out bit carousel_home_command "Turret-Home command to the tool changer. This should be connected to the Blue wire of the M-Function cable (pin 6 of connector J7). Asserting this output

and now it mentions qd_complete does not exist !!!!
thx in advance
thomas

And you are the boss
yesterday i was really verry desperate !!
show pin
Component Pins:
Owner Type Dir Value Name
4 bit OUT FALSE ncarouselatc.carousel-home-command
4 s32 OUT 0 ncarouselatc.current-state
4 s32 OUT 0 ncarouselatc.current-tool
4 u32 OUT 0x00000000 ncarouselatc.error-code
4 bit OUT FALSE ncarouselatc.error-flag
4 bit IN FALSE ncarouselatc.error-reset
4 bit OUT FALSE ncarouselatc.fault

4 bit IN FALSE ncarouselatc.magcount

4 bit OUT FALSE ncarouselatc.toolmagturnleft
4 bit OUT FALSE ncarouselatc.toolmagturnright
4 bit IN FALSE ncarouselatc.turncarousel
4 bit OUT FALSE ncarouselatc.turncarouseld

coming from source like
pin in float reqpocketnumber "The pocketnumber of the desired new tool. Range is to the turret-capacity param";
pin in bit qd_complete "Reset signal from the Quickdraw Tool Changer that the current operation is completeThis input is debounced. The reset output from the tool changer is pulsed each time a pocket passes into position.";
pin in bit maschineistan "Receives signal to start turning";
pin in bit qd_auto "Indication that the tool changer is in auto mode. This input is debounced.";
pin in bit magindex "Indication of pocket 1 debounced";

lerning for me don't use - or _
right ?
thank you so much
