Spindel problems in Gmoccapy

You would open the terminal in Linux, not from the LinuxCNC GUI.
It is possible to type in commands in the Halshow window, but there is no command-history or tab-completion there.

Another thing you could try, to check that the postgui HAL file is actually being called, is to have a "loadusr halmeter" at the top of the file. If the halmeter window appears, then it probably is.

Also, try starting Linuxcnc from the command-line, I think it lists all the HAL files it finds. Perhaps there is an error message to be seen there.

Apparently it is not loading as no halmeter appears

# link to gmoccapy toolchange, so you get the advantage of tool description on change dialog

loadusr halmeter

net tool-change gmoccapy.toolchange-change <= iocontrol.0.tool-change
net tool-changed gmoccapy.toolchange-changed <= iocontrol.0.tool-changed
net tool-prep-number gmoccapy.toolchange-number <= iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number
net tool-prep-loop iocontrol.0.tool-prepare <= iocontrol.0.tool-prepared

net tooloffset-x gmoccapy.tooloffset-x <= motion.tooloffset.x
net tooloffset-z gmoccapy.tooloffset-z <= motion.tooloffset.z

net spindle-rpm gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar
net spindle-at-speed gmoccapy.spindle_at_speed_led

halcmd net spindle-rpm gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar

I managed to size down gmoccapy so I could start terminal and now I have rpms showing

Is this a naming issue of the postgui file name perhaps?

That is why I keep asking you what the file names are, and if they match the ones in the INI file.

You have two HAL files with "postgui" in the name. Only one of them is specified in the INI. Is that the right one?

Names are correct.
But can postgui have name without custom_ ? Is it so that custom_postgui.hal is expected and hardcoded somewhere in the code?
