Thanks Peter for coming by. I put your 3 lines in my .hal file but there is an error message:
...
Debug file information:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
./ttm_a.hal:298: parameter or pin 'hm2_6i25.0.gpio.007.is_output' not found
2077
Stopping realtime threads
...
Perhaps this is because gpio.007 is "hm2/hm2_6i25.0: IO Pin 007 (P3-17): PWMGen #0, pin Out1 (Dir or Down) (Output)"
Seems this gpio.007 is bound to "pwm/dir" (Out1) for signaling CCW, what I want to do is to use it as a signal to enable my VFD while CW rotation.
Because I'm low on outputs I want to use this gpio.007 with the relay.
