Trying to reconnect HY_VFD after LinuxCNC version change was created by macsddau@linuxcnc

Hi.

I have moved LinuxCNC from 2.7 on Debian to 2.8 on Mint.

I have some troubles with the custom.hal file

loadusr -Wn vfd hy_vfd -n vfd -t 1 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p none -r 9600

net spindle-cmd-rpm-abs		        => vfd.speed-command
net spindle-cw spindle.0.forward	=> vfd.spindle-forward
net spindle-ccw spindle.0.reverse	=> vfd.spindle-reverse
net on spindle.0.is-on	                => vfd.spindle-on

with an error at startup

Pin 'spindle.0.is-on' does not exist

I have change the 3 pin names attached to spindle.0 according to 2.8 version names but the last one don't work.

Have you got any idea to solve this ?

hi use
motion.spindle-on

net on motion.spindle-on => vfd.spindle-on

NETON is not a good netname
please do not use command names as netnames
net spindle-on
net spindle-run
...

The auto-conversion script should have done this for you.
But the pin name is
spindle.0.on (not is-on)

The conversion script uses this list:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...ipts/update_ini#L492

Where did you get the wrong spindle pin name from? It appears we need to correct the docs.
