Help with adding PlasmaC to base config + 7i76e

The following are from another users working config.

machine hal file:
connections hal file:
Notice that the io pins begin with hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0. but the encoder pins begin with hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.

You need to follow the same format.

Am I supposed to add this into my base file before I go run and fill out the configurator? Or am I supposed to add this into some other file after I run the configurator?

Is it supposed to go anywhere special in the hal file?

I tried adding this format in my base file and now after I run configurator I get a crash report stating that error in file .plaz/connections.hal: 'Pin 'hm2_7i76e.0.0.spinena pin was already linked to signal 'spindle-enable'.

Try these two:

Now after I replace the contents of my files with the files you posted I get another error.

Paraphrasing; Pin encoder velocity does not exist.

net plasmac:arc-voltage-in h2m_7i76e.0.encoder.00.velocity => plasmac.arc-voltage-in
net plasmac:float-switch h2m_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-07 => debounce.0.0.in
# net plasmac:breakaway {YOUR BREAKAWAY PIN} => debounce.0.1.in
# net plasmac:ohmic-probe {YOUR OHMIC PROBE PIN} => debounce.0.2.in
# net plasmac:ohmic-enable plasmac.ohmic-enable => {YOUR OHMIC ENABLE PIN}
net plasmac:torch-on => h2m_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinena

It looks like you had the hm2 as h2m so i corrected those and now get this error:

That is the same error you had before and the solution mentioned by PCW, namely the filter does not accept the value of -1, it does accept 0 or 1. Encoder scale be be -1 or whatever you need it to be.
You really, really have to stop editing stuff at random, you are wasting a lot of time and nerves doing constantly the same errors while editing.

I literally just added the files I was told to add, exactly as given to me by phill. Once those files failed, I only edited what was obviously erroneous which is the hm2's. I left the -1's as phill sent to me. Am I supposed to follow these instructions or not? There is numerous contradictory instructions in this thread. 4 days after asking for help I still have no working plasmac.

Did you not also see there are other errors than the -1? There is also an error "input-07 was already linked to probe-in"...again another error on using a file directly as it was given to me.

Accusing me of "not bothered to read" "randomly changing things" etc is not true and is rather counterproductive IMO. I have only changed what I was told to change, perhaps I implemented the changes incorrectly based on my understanding but I am certainly not randomly changing things around. You also gave misinformation earlier in this thread about the encoder and were corrected by PCW...well I try to follow what he says and also that is wrong apparently..

Well now I correct the file from the -1's I was given by phill and I've changed them into 1's as advised by tommylight and earlier PCW and now I'm just getting the error that :

h2m_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-07 was already linked to signal probe in. Now what am I doing wrong this time?

Hard to say without seeing your config and hal files. Can you attach them?

You can find them in phill's most recent post ...he provided the files which I copied and pasted into my machine.
