I want to change the state of pin 17 on my breakout board. At this stage, I dont want any GUI involved.

I want to change the state of pin 17 by halrun command

halcmd: setp parport.0.pin-17-out 1

the hal file name secondhal.hal,      then I issue 
halrun -I -f secondhal.hal

loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
setp parport.0.reset-time 5000
1addf parport.0.read base-thread
addf parport.0.write base-thread
addf parport.0.reset base-thread

Can anyone help?



Good day

Philip

I'm not sure about halrun but the thread component needs
a start command when run from halcmd
 

yes

I was missing the start


after adding start it is working

Now I will read how to make soft button

Thanks
