Can they be modified with the tool? Should have "inverted" or "invert" besides every IO pin.

Just add:

tommylight - ref your answer above, the issue i have is the ini and hal files that JohnT's tool produces don't appear to follow 'normal' syntax. for example my ini includes this

[INPUTS]
# DO NOT change the input text
INPUT_0 = Min Limit & Home
INPUT_JOINT_0 = 0
INPUT_1 = Max Limit
INPUT_JOINT_1 = 0
INPUT_2 = Min Limit & Home
INPUT_JOINT_2 = 1
INPUT_3 = Max Limit
INPUT_JOINT_3 = 1
INPUT_4 = Min Limit & Home
INPUT_JOINT_4 = 2
INPUT_5 = Max Limit

but none of this seems to be mentioned in the HAL. I've searched for "INPUT_" and for "Limit" and neither appear in the .hal file. The syntax used (above) in does seem to be conducive to the addition of "_not" or "-not", in fact it specifically says "DO NOT change the input text". I'm at a loss as to how I do something that I thought should be relatively simple. I understand that your answer works in ini.hal files produced by pncconf,

As soon as pete pointed to to the existence of the io.hal file i fixed it in minutes. Thanks.

While I remember, I cant get the external estop to work. The estop signal toggles with the pin. The axis gui seems to make a signal called estop-loop toggle, my external switch does nothing to that. Is that part of the issue?
