No, you put it in your machine hal file. He said put it in postgui hal file. anyway, did yopu check your halshow to see if your getting the input when you push the button?

BTW, that line works I use it in my machines.

my start button works but now i want to add addidtionbal pause button
so i did it
and this happens
im total noob to hal

You have tried to connect halui.mode.auto to two different parallel port pins.
This isn't allowed, because it can't work. What value should halui.mode.auto be set to if the two parallel port pins have different values?

You probably need to send the parport inputs to an or2 component, and then take it from there to halui,mode.auto

Also, you are using and2.0 in both sections, and probably mean to use and2.1 in the second part.

he shoudt post the ini and hal file
and ofcause some mashine infos as he trying to do weard things that can be done mutch easyer

I have a pause/resume button and a cycle start button. This is running on 2.7 for 5 years now.
On 2.8, names may have been changed to protect innocent.
