That's better...:)

OK, the pin names need to be parport.0.pin-nn-out or parport.0.pin-nn-in like in your HAL file

I just noticed that you already have those pins connected in your HAL file. You will need to comment them out there.

Where do I comment them out? Sorry I was trying to figure why the error wasn’t pasting.

Yes, use this.
