Hmmm looking at .comp we have this

case 1: // Gear E
gear = (high_gear != 0) ? 5 : 10;
break;

Should it not be like this then? Hi gear is 5 and Lo gear is 10 right?

setp gearblocker.0.gear.10.min-speed 80

Sure somebody will correct us ;)

Think you found a bug there.
This is one of those areas where it is soo easy to make a problem. Index starting at 0 or 1.
Uhhm. I think you can replace the whole case-switch block with
gear = input_1 + 2*input_B + 3*input_C + 4*input_D + 5*input_E + 5*high_gear -1;
This will directly calculate the engaged gear. You promise only one of the input_ABCDE is engaged at any given time?
The -1 is to make the indexing into speed_max, etc zero-based.

You can test in a hal file to see if the syntax is correct.
But there are no pins called what you write above. Didn't it work in the way I wrote it?

On holiday and on the phone, so quoting is difficult.

The gears probably are switched,yes. As i explained I did it at lunchtime in a widows pc at work. It is entirely untested.

There are other ways to do it. I chose the switch block to explicitly reject invalid gear selections.
The single line calculation returns gear 5 if both B and C are selected. And that seems something to reject.

So down in my shop and trying to install linuxcnc-dev but no-go in my Mint installation. Need to get my comp file working.

Any clues what can be wrong?

sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev is what I try to use

Hmmm appears o be installed but again errors

bengt@CombiMll ~/linuxcnc/configs/CM_GEARBOX $ sudo halcompile --compile gearbox3.comp
Traceback (most recent call last):

Can you guys see what is wrong in the comp file

Some progress, fixed some typos and now it complaints about this on line 12. We are making progress

pin out int wantedgear "Shift to this gear if told so";

I also want to claim the holiday reason :)
I think it is the "int" that is wrong, There seems to be no such datatype for hal pins.
Either "s32" or "u32" for signed or unsigned integer.
Chose "s32" so you can have -1 for "no suitable gear found".

Regarding the gear calculation. The one-line way doesn't add any
failure protection. If that is important, you need to expand on that.
Andy's way may be better. You have to see and judge what is important
for you.

No worries here Håkan, I appreciate all the help I can get. Made some progress now for loop error.

Its best practice to define variables at the head of the function. The exception might be if you have a low memory environment.
I don't think the halcompile environment likes a definition of the loop variable in the for statement. Also you are mixing types by assigning an int (geartouse) to a long (eg. S32) so try this:
FUNCTION(_) {

    static double speeds[7][2] = {
        { 160.0, 80.0},
        { 270.0, 160.0},
        { 450.0, 270.0},
        { 750.0, 450.0},
        {1250.0, 750.0},
        {1500.0, 1250.0},
        {2500.0, 1500.0},
    };
    // Gears are number from 1 (lowest) to 7
    
    // Check which gear to use with this speed Sxxx
    long geartouse = -1;
    int i;
    for (i=0; i<7; i++) {
       if (speed <= speeds[i][0] && speed > speeds[i][1])
     geartouse = (long) i+1L;
    }

    // Which gear is engaged
    int gearengaged = 1*input_a + 2*input_b + 3*input_c + 4*input_d + 5*input_e + 5*higear;

    if (geartouse == gearengaged) { // Everything ok
      gearshift = 0;
      wantedgear = gearengaged;
      speedratio = speed/speeds[gearenaged-1][0];
    } else {                        // Should change gear
      gearshift = 1;
      wantedgear = geartouse;
      speedratio = speed/speeds[(int)geartouse-1][0];
    }
}

I'm not sure if halcompile will like 1L which signifies 1 is a long type. If it complains, try "(long) 1" instead

OOPS just edited as an explicit typedef is required on the line where speedratio is defined.
