I updated the file (in the earlier message) with a few bug fixes (contrast now works) and two new formats.
%c works like in C, it creates a HAL pin which directly sets the ASCII value of a character (values <32 (space) are suppressed).
%b{char1}{char2} creates a HAL bit pin, and displays {char1} if true and {char2} if false. Ascii values can be escaped with a backslash.
For examples "%bYN" would give you a Y / N pin. and "%b\FF " gives a block/blank.

Just pushed to the 2.5 branch. It should be available from the Buildbot tomorrow (or maybe even later today).
The proper submission has documentation.

I see 7i73 but no analog pins there, 0-3 are usual bit inputs
The manual says about software modes 0-2, but I don't see such a parameter either

How do I use analog inputs?the latest pncconf supports the 7i73's simple buttons, analog input, and mpg

I don't have these pins. LCD and no keypad mode (W5 W6 down, W7 up)

Heres a list of 7I73 pins: (In a mode with LCD enabled but no keypad)
10 float OUT 0.02588235 hm2_5i25.0.7i73.0.2.analogin0 -- four 0 -> 3.3V analog inputs
10 float OUT 0.03882353 hm2_5i25.0.7i73.0.2.analogin1

www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/hostmot2.9.html#config modparamfor example.
(I probably need to think about other ways to do this, as it is not very logical with the alternative addressing mode)

You may need to change the software mode.I don't have these pins. LCD and no keypad mode (W5 W6 down, W7 up)

Thanks, it worked with sserial_port_0=0x02000000
It also changed hm2_5i25.0.7i73.0.1.display to hm2_5i25.0.7i73.0.1.display32
I guess I found a bug in LCD component (or my LCD display). The first string on the first page is blinking while other strings on other pages don't.
I found a symbols combination when it did not blink, but can't find it any more.

There are double quotes in LCD man www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/lcd.9.html
But it won't load with double quotes, while single quotes go OK.

I am a bit puzzled by that, but I should be able to change it.

(In fact, there is something to be said for not using /n at all)
Replied by andypugh on topic Re:7i73 Pendent Control
It might be that the string is exactly one page width but also has a /n in it. For lines that are exactly one page-width long you need to leave out the /n.I guess I found a bug in LCD component (or my LCD display). The first string on the first page is blinking while other strings on other pages don't..
