[solved] Tabs and panel will not load after editing the HAL file ???

here they are, screenshot and both configs

The one with THCAD in the name does not load tabs.

I don't have a card here to test with so I used a sim HAL file instead of t2030p.hal and comment out the following lines in t2030p_connections.hal and it loaded up fine.
I think you may need to change this line in t2030p.hal from:to:and comment this line out in t2030p_connections.hal:Maybe loading a second instance of motmod can cause this.

If it is not this then it must be something else in t2030p.hal

Those are made by the configurator and they do work fine, except the encoder.0.velocity that i added, and that also works fine as the voltage is shown on screen.

loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS num_spindles=[TRAJ]SPINDLES

to:

loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=100000 servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS num_spindles=[TRAJ]SPINDLES

Those are reversed, but i do get why and how, thank you. Also works either way.

Will check that, although that is a result of adding the encoder stuff to connections file and the issue occurring then moving encoder stuff to the main hal file.
More testing, tomorrow, 2:56AM here, time for some zzzzzzzzz
Thank you very much.

Checked everything, twice, same issue, then while setting up the hardware encoder it occurred to me that the values for the THCAD offset and scale can not be set because the software encoder is encoder.0. while the hardware encoder is encoder.00.
Now i have working toma_thc and PlasmaC config for this machine, so when i get tired of waiting for retract of the Z axis i can switch over.
Marking this topic as solved.
Thank you, all.
