M Code => input contact in classic ladder? was created by DaOne
I am trying to use a custom M code to give me an input conact inside classic ladder. Is this possable? If so maybe I could get an example?

Just to be more clear I would be using the user defined M-codes (M100 to M199).

use the M code to manipulate classicladder's HAL pin(s).
From the Manual:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/gcode/m-c...tml#sec:M100-to-M199
It shows an example using the parport but classicladder would be the same.
eg: setp classicladder.0.in-00 True
would set %I0 true inside classicladder.

So the classic ladder pins can be referenced exactly the same way as hardware pins correct?

As long as the classicladder pin you are wanting to change is not connected to a signal.
If it is connected to just a signal then you must manipulate the signal.
If the signal is also connected to a driving pin then you can't manipulate it because it already has a 'master'
Classicladder pins behave just like any other component' HAL pins.

If the pin has been named in hal is it still able to be used directly? I think I remember it can't be accessed from a M-code script by name correct?

Not following you there: 'named in hal'
If you mean connected to a signal in the HAL file then yes you can't manipulate it directly.
see above
Or just try it.

Sorry I am trying my best to learn the lingo. I guess it would be considered a signal when to assign a " name" to the hardware pin to reference it in a more human readable form. I am very limited to trying it because the machine is 20 miles away. Is there anyway to simulate a 5i25 / 7i77 so I can load without errors on my home pc?

It would be possible (but tedious) to create a HAL component that created all the same pins as a 5i25 but you would need a separate one for each firmware combination, and making it actually behave like a 5i25 would be a lot more work on top.

Not at the moment, no.Is there anyway to simulate a 5i25 / 7i77 so I can load without errors on my home pc?

The easy way to test the syntax of a HAL snippet in your situation is to use Axis Sim and just create a pin with the net command.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/basic_hal.html
OR run the classicladder example and use the classicladder pin name...

net nameofmypinthatdoesnothing
in your M1xx file do something like
#!/bin/bash
halcmd setp nameofmypinthatdoesnothing True
exit 0OR run the classicladder example and use the classicladder pin name...
