Yes I have to start ... I have planty of ideas but I am aware little bit to code them over halcompile...

Yes defenetly I am interested even in all which should improve our skills ... can you provide me them please?

thanks...

Thanks. Seems like that restriction is a little too restrictive sometimes. :-/

But surely there's some other, event driven, mechanism, which wouldn't involve polling the pin every second or more?

You cannot run an MDI_COMMAND when the controller is in estop. Try a python hal component that invokes your external program instead:

@Endian,

Ever thought about writing components in c code instead of halcompile code?
I bet writing in c will relax your code. You can also ask DeepSeek to write c code, then
compile it with cmake, and you are off.
I have old examples, if interested.

I don't see any memory allocation for multiple instances of the component at the moment.
If you like at threads.c you can see RTAPI... is used for setting up multiple threads.

Okay I got it... But how to customize them to not hard code them ... any ideas which will be readable after some time?

Thank you all...

Thank you mate! Exactly what i was looking for.

As Andy pointed out, those two variables are shared among all instances.It wasn't so easy to just "variable" before the lower lines so you might have to rework that a bit.

I included the pinout file if you want to use it as a starting point for a different configuration.

Note that having all muxed encoders is a little odd as non-muxed encoder show up as 2
encoders each, with only one being useable so the encoders are:

7I89 0..7
7i76 8 (9)
7I78 10 (11)

Aliased encoder in parens

I keep meaning to add the capability of supporting both encoder types
simultaneously to the driver, but there always seems to be something of
higher priority...
 

If you want the coolant on al the time the spindle is on, add:

net spindle-enable => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-02

If you want the normal gcode controlled coolant, add:

net coolant-flood  => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-02

or

net coolant-mist   => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-02


As far as the spindle scaling goes, OUTPUT_SCALE must be 24000
If that does not work, the are errors elsewhere that must be fixed.
