External button for Cycle start/pause

Im trying to setup an external button for start/pause cycle, is there more places to set this up in the hal file ,
i put a button to - net cycle-start - but noting happens , in hal meter is it working when i press it


here is my hal file

Thanks will i try

i got that working now with cycle start,
then i found this code for pause/resume but i get an error toggel.2.in does not exist ,
