Is there a simple button toggle for a Mesa output using one or the other?

I followed this guide.
Big John T. Toggle
So my version that works
loadrt toggle count=1
addf toggle.0 servo-thread
net flood-toggle toggle.0.in <= pyvcp.drive-disable
net flood-control toggle.0.out => hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-01
I don't understand how flood-toggle and flood-control are linked. Is there a simpler way to get button "drive-disable" to toggle ouput hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-01 ?

So, initially the flood is OFF when you press the pyvcp widget the flood will turn ON if you press the same pyvcp widget button the flood will turn OFF and so forth.
In nut shell one push button is used to turn on and off the flood valve.
This is probably the simplest way to turn an output ON/OFF with only one push button (ui or hardwired). If you use hardwired push button add 20 ms debounce.

I re-wrote the HAL below and changed to "generic-1" and "generic-2" and it still works.
loadrt toggle count=1
addf toggle.0 servo-thread
net generic-1 toggle.0.in <= pyvcp.drive-disable
net generic-2 toggle.0.out => hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-01
I thought I could write it in one line like so.
pyvcp.drive-disable => toggle.0.out => hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-01
Trying to understand why "generic-1" and "generic-2" are necessary.

Those can be "mom" and "dad", it does not matter, they are signal names that you freely assign to connections between hal pinsTrying to understand why "generic-1" and "generic-2" are necessary.
net generic-1 toggle.0.in <= pyvcp.drive-disable
net generic-1 toggle.0.in
net generic-1 pyvcp.drive-disable
net generic-2 toggle.0.out => hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-01
net generic-2 toggle.0.out
net generic-2 hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-01
Think of generic-1 (or mom or dad or) as a bus bar, toggle.0.in is one of the wires and pyvcp.drive-disable is the other wire tied together at the bus bar.

Thank-you for taking the time to draw it out. Its' more clear now!Benb post=311153 userid=20877It looks like you having problem distinguishing hal pin names from hal signal names. It's a common mistake by new linuxcnc hal users. further to Tom's explanation, I draw a block diagram, The dashed lines are your signal names generic-1 on the left and generic-2 on the right. If you connect them together you short circuit the input and output of the toggle component.
I'm a jack (novice) of all code master of none. HAL for some reason just ties me in knots!

If you look at the first block diagram to control halui machine on and off with one pushbutton. The reason the block diagram is complex because Hal which is real time program is communication with halui a user land non realtime program. The non realtime component timing is unpredictable and make RT comp communication with non realtime comp difficult It requires trial and error intuition and luck to get to two to talk consistently no matter the jitter of the controllers.
I which someone could convert Halui to run in real time memory.
