That was super helpful, thank you! I didn't realize qtdragon_hd.ui had the color and off-color both defined as green by default. That really should be changed to avoid this confusion.

Ok so after cleaning up my .hal files this is what I have right now in my PrintNC config folder. I'm still seeing the behavior where the job hangs at line 16.
I did a HAL show on several relevant pins.
In my custom_postgui.hal I have these spindle settings:
And in vfd.hal I have these spindle settings:
Do I need a line that does "setp spindle-at-speed true"? Because I thought the point of having the serial connection to the VFD is that it can tell me when it is at speed instead of manually setting it.

So I'm thinking now that this is not a spindle-at-speed problem. I just did hal show on a bunch of spindle and vfd related pins while running the spindle manually and then while attempting to run my gcode file.
Manually turning spindle on:
Running my gcode file:
Everything seems to be working fine when I turn on the spindle in manual mode. Is there something weird going on in my gcode file?

your program runs fine on a sim config.

Progress! It has to do with my toolchange operation. I started commenting out one line at a time in my gcode file and it was able to run after I commented out "T3 M6".
Now I just have to figure out why that's causing a problem.
Here are my toolchange related config settings. I'm using a manual toolchange operation. I want the machine to go to G53 X100 Y100 Z0. I have TOOL_CHANGE_QUILL_UP = 1 because I want it to raise Z all the way up before moving to the toolchange position.
In my INI, here's my EMCIO section:
In my postgui file, here's my tool change info. I've tried it with the unlinkp lines commented and uncommented, and it hasn't changed the behavior.
According to this , I expected a little message box to appear showing to facilitate the manual toolchange, but that never happened.

In my INI, here's my EMCIO section:

[EMCIO]
EMCIO = io
CYCLE_TIME = 0.100
TOOL_TABLE = tool.tbl
TOOL_CHANGE_WITH_SPINDLE_ON = 0
TOOL_CHANGE_QUILL_UP = 1
TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION = 200 100 0
In my postgui file, here's my tool change info. I've tried it with the unlinkp lines commented and uncommented, and it hasn't changed the behavior.
Code:
# the unlink pin commands are only used, because they are connected
# in core_sim.hal and we use this file to simulate
# unlinkp iocontrol.0.tool-change
# unlinkp iocontrol.0.tool-changed
# unlinkp iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number
net tool-change hal_manualtoolchange.change <= iocontrol.0.tool-change
net tool-changed hal_manualtoolchange.changed <= iocontrol.0.tool-changed
net tool-prep-number hal_manualtoolchange.number <= iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number

Try replacing the Tool.tbl file to the attached and everything will work.
