Will do this tomorrow, also do a Axis + probe setup just to verify where the issues are.

When you say comment out all hal and embedded tabs is this the files related to probe screen only?

No, all ones!

I do recommend to split this huge hal files in separate files.
I have a main.hal file, where i just load the rt components and add that ones to the servo thread. This file also contains the axis joint setup, but nothing else.

Second file would be all stuff related to homing.

Third is spindle stuff.

If that does work i have a working machine!

Next would be cooling, next doors, next vacuum, next .....

Also my postgui.hal is a postgui.call list file whitch calls relevant postgui stuff in separate small files, as one for the tool offsets connections to gmoccapy, one for spindle feedback to gmoccapy one for the toolchange dialog etc.

The advantage of doing that way is the easier way to find errors, as you can disable part by part and running configurations etc. Coolant or spindle can just be transfered to hew configs. I bild my configs today just by copy files to bew folders, edit then to fit the new hal pin names and i am done.

Was für eine Aufgabe, das zu klären

I do not understand how to connect / implement these hal files

But I understand what you say just hard to wrap this around my head.

Just split the files as you need them, save every file in your config folder and load each file with an entry in the ini file.

Read documentation about ini configuration.

Das wird schon alles, ist halt ein wenig Fleisarbeit und Lernen angesagt?

I have found the tool change issue, here in ini

HAL]
HALUI = halui
HALFILE = GB_3speed.hal
HALFILE = mpg.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal

Here was the error = NO TOOLCHANGE

# Include your custom_postgui HAL commands here
# This file will not be overwritten when you run PNCconf again

net spindle-vel-cmd-rpm-abs   => gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar
# net hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout    => gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar

The Tool change was in postgui.hal

###################################################################
#        gmoccapy_postgui.hal file from Norbert Schechner         #
#                        spindle stuff                            #
###################################################################


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 tool-prep-loop         iocontrol.0.tool-prepare      <=   iocontrol.0.tool-prepared

Now INI is edited

[HAL]
HALUI = halui
HALFILE = GB_3speed.hal
HALFILE = mpg.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = postgui.hal

And this is postgui.hal now

###################################################################
#        gmoccapy_postgui.hal file from Norbert Schechner         #
#                        spindle stuff                            #
###################################################################


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-vel-cmd-rpm-abs   => gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar
net hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout    => gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar

So now tool change is working, but still some issues to be solved, some gmoccapy related and other are probe screen related.

Please read first, prior to copy files arround.
If you do not need gmoccaly screen 2 you do not need to install that file. If you need it, please build your own screen2. If you do not know howto build a glade screen, you do not need screen2!

In the prior post, there is no relevant gmoccapy error, you can igniore the gtk sourceview and the onboard errors.

Screen has started according to the output you posted.

So what is the problem? Please read hal documentation, as all mentioned till today was only missconfigured hal files.

Norbert, do not get me wrong here but why is it that all these *error* message pop up if one just can ignore these? No I do not need screen2 as far as i know. So why is it that the error messages are there if no need for them? Same goes for the Gtk messages, something must be wrong don't you agree?

Not so easy for a beginner to wrap all this mystery around one's head with errors here and there.

Cheers
Bengt

It is not easy!

The errors i mentioned are not from gmoccapy and have been there for about 5 years, i agree that they are missleading, that is why i mentioned you can ignore them.

I do not see more errors, just a lot of informations!
Probe screen does tell you, that you do not have a valid probe configuration in your ini file!
