Help needed to get my 7i76E + 7i85S + 7i73 on my mill going.

Halts in compile

bengt@debian:~/linuxcnc$ sudo halcompile --compile GB_2speed.comp

Where in the compfile should a message be written and how?

That needs to be
pin out bit message-##[14]

Where in the compfile should a message be written and how?

"message" is an existing and separate HAL component.

Trying my best Andy, that line is already fixed.

}

No

This is the last error message
forum.linuxcnc.org/39-pncconf/33069-help...ing?start=580#116854

This give more errors that have been fixed so the lastone i did gives less errors.
