Snuggly's Plasma Build

Sweet, I'll give it a shot. We're getting into territory that I can't quite make heads or tails of, so here's hoping we can get this machine cutting before thanksgiving.

Good news is everything other than the THC is working properly.

I've modified this file, and in searching for the associated custom postgui, I opened up all these files in notepad++ and these HAL files are effectively blank.

I think this is a case of following more than one prophet. You can safely ignore what Andy hs said.
If you look in your ini file your POST_GUI file is defined as being THC_7i92_7i77_vcp.hal (Remember everything in Linuxcnc is configurable)

So now lets focus on the error you reported. It said that there was an error on this line in THC_7i92_7i77_vcp.hal
I had a look in your THC_7i92_7i77_vcp.xml file and I think all you will have to do is to change this line to refer to a pin that does exist. eg.

If you're suggestion was to remove the -f from threshold-f, this just threw the same error as before, sans the -f. I suspect, however, that this wasn't what you had in mind. I understand the concept of "wiring" in the context of linuxcnc, however I'm not rightly familiar with the particulars. I'll snag my entire file and post it up here shortly.

Comment out the problem line so your system loads and then use Halshow (which is available from the GUI in Axis and Gmocappy) and explore the pins being exported by pyvcp. If you can't see any, revert to Andy's advice as it might be a post_gui thing.

Your error has told you a pin is missing, so you need to look at what pins exist. sometimes its a simple typo which I thought it was as in the XML the pin ending in -f did not exist.

Fantastic, will do!

So, postgui then?

Looks like I'll need to setup a postgui as you suggested. Would you mind helping me with that?

Issue is solved; however I'm back to where I was last time I tried the TOMA setup:

THC.hal:157:Pin 'joint.3.motor-pos-cmd' was already linked to signal 'z-pos-cmd'

Not sure how to negotiate this particular hurdle.
