Gantry machine progress

./my_LinuxCNC_machine12-7.hal:168: "pid.y1.index-enable" does not exist.

This tells you that line 168 of the HAL file my_LinuxCNC_machine12-7.hal contains a reference to a pid.y1 pin that dos not exist.

So, why does that pin not exist? Have you changed the "loadrt" line to create a pid.y1 function?

Don't forget that you need a matching addf for the pid.y1 too.

If you make the edit I suggested then you will have pid.y0 and pid.y1 but _not_ pid.y. I think that this is a better idea as then you can't accidentally leave a pid.y in the wrong section of the HAL file without raising an error.

Don't worry about going through the files one error at a time. It is what I always end up doing with a new machine setup.

if i change the y to y0 i sud change it in all the y section??

Yes, I think that is the best way, it saves any confusion later.
