There is no problem running a loop that can only ever execute 10 times. like this one.
The problem is any loop that can potentially wait an unknown and long time.

I'm not a fan of ever using for() loop in an interrupt service routine (which is what the servo-thread is).

HAL_label looks like it could display the required gear:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/gui/gladevcp.html#gladevcp:hal-label
But a telltale LED on the high / low and ABCDE levers when a gear change is needed would be cooler.

The gear you need is an "int pin". It must be possible to get the int from that pin into the glade view. "Must" as in "I guess".

Did you figure out that you need to "setp" all the speed limits and gear ratios to the correct values in the HAL file?

Yes I agree that this would be very cool to have.

OK, well, you need to "setp" all the speed limit and ratio pins before it will work properly

So it is following net signals that need to be setp ?
# gearbox input signals
# gearbox Hi/Lo
net gearblocker.0.high-gear <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-15
# gearbox A - B - C - D - E
net gearblocker.0.gear-A <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-10
net gearblocker.0.gear-B <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-11
net gearblocker.0.gear-C <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-12
net gearblocker.0.gear-D <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-13
net gearblocker.0.gear-E <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-14
Any example to kick me on the right track
Will be on and off next few days as hunting season started today here.

No, those nets are correct, butt here are 30 other pins to set the values of.

Yes. You have 10 gears and each has a max, min and gear ratio pin.
