configuration help needed

Hi
I am getting further with my machine but need some help.
I am trying to setup buttons in a pyvcp, I have got some of them working. I have some buttons that I want to be able to touch off with on individual axes's rather than using the touch off button on the main axis screen & I am having trouble trying to get O words to work.
I have copies some bits of Jerry's config as I thought it would be easier to have <cmd-01> type files to make it easier to add MDI commands.
I have got a button and led in my panel for activating the coolant mist & flood but cant get the buttons & leds to work together as i've been using the same halpin and linux doesnt like it.
attached are my config files, in my hal file any line with ##### is there so I can edit my configs on my laptop as it doesn't have a parallel port and it wont run my config without #ing them out.
Not sure whether I have explained this clearly enough for anyone to understand what I exactly want but can clarify if needed.
Regards
Philip

Thanks Andy
I will change it tonight and give it another try.
Do you know the command I can use for a halpin to use with my panel buttons to home individual axis'
regards
Philip

The hal pin to home one at a time would be.
halui.joint.N.home

What the exact command in your hal file will depend on how your hardware is connected.
if for example your button to home joint 0 (the x-axis) would be connected to parallel port 0 pin 10 a line you could use in your hal file might be:
net home0 <= parport.0.pin-10-in => halui.joint.0.home

Hi Todd
Thanks but forgive me, What I meant to ask is the command to touch off on an individual axis instead of using the touch off on the main screen.

To set that up for use with a button you could use a halui MDI command.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/gui/halui.html
Where you can use a hal pin signal to trigger a predefined mdi command such as G10...

An example of MDI commands for "touching off" In the ini file
taken from wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Adding...imple_Remote_Pendant

# # # # #
#Uncomment and use the following MDI_COMMANDS in the .ini file in the HALUI section"
#these four set each axis to zero similar to touch off, but using G10 you can change to numbers to reflect the size of #your edge finder these must be in the proper order
#MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P1 X-.125
#MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P1 Y-.125
#MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P1 Z0.000
#MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P1 W0.000

thanks guys
I have now got my individual touch off buttons working along with buttons to release back to home & some to move to 0 positions.
I am now going to have a read about classic ladder as I want to be able to pulse my mist output for a cutter lube/coolant mist, and be able to adjust on & off times for it from the panel.
thanks again to all and feel free to send me samples of code if you have any.
Philip
