thanks for the reference. I had not noticed that.
BUT, I have tested probing, and qtversaprobe.enable never comes on.
and qtdragon.spindle-inhibit does not come on either.

I have some hal set up to inhibit the spindle when the probe is loaded. Neither .enable or .spindle-inhibit are used. they are both outputs.
Outputs of what?????? that's what I would like to know,

fyi. I am using a deb from Seb's buildbot2 for bookworm/master. about a week old.

Probably what the docs say, you would connect .spindle-inhibit in hal to
spindle.0.inhibit
.:

 

.enable reflects the screen button state.

To add a liyttle more detail:

-> qtversaprobe.enable

reflects the state of the 'measure tool' button on the versa probe screen.
This is a manual selection button (to ignore auto probing)
It doesn't do anything unless the remap code utilizes it such as:
o300 if [#<_hal[qtversaprobe.enable]> EQ 0]
   (MSG, Auto Tool probe disabled )
    G43 ;turn back on tool offset mode before returning
o300 return [3] ; indicate no tool measurement
o300 endif

-> qtversaprobe.probe-loaded

true when the tool number equals the preference files entry:
ps_probe_tool = 1

It doesn't do anything unless connected to other logic such as spindle.0.inhibit.
If you have multiple signals to connect to spindle.0.inhibit, then you must use an OR logic component.

Thank you for this Chris, much appreciated. It's just what I need but can't see it in halshow - I'm running the Debian pkg 2.9.4-14-g00c2d4f0cc (just apt upgraded) - does this mean it's not is a 'release' yet? (other than the halshow, I'm not sure how to tell).

Thanks Chris - it's a 'nice to have' for me, so happy to wait for it to come through the pkg system (hopefully qtdragon standard as well as HD).
