User created messages in Gmoccapy

Hello. I work for someone who's trying to get messages to show as pop ups in Gmoccapy, but everything we've tried hasn't worked. We've read the LinuxCNC docs and this thread as well, to no avail. I have some experience with Linux, but mostly as an end user. Can someone please post a step by step example from start to finish?

Thanks in advance.

For a working example, just see in the config sim folder gmoccapy_messages.

Just open the sim config from the config picker, then look with halshow at the pins.

gmoccapy.messages.*******

I.e. if you do a

The message will be displayed.

P.S. If you need more help, please post your config and explain what you are trying to do.

Well, this is embarrassing: we have a few LinuxCNC folders and it turns out we were editing the HAL file in another folder

I apologize for the blunder, and thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
