Inverting input in stepConf causes error loading

when first running stepconf the second page I think, see if 'create simulated hardware configuration' is unchecked - it should be for a real machine.

So the fix for invert pins will be in 2.7.4 but it should only affect simulated hardware configs.

Great, thanks! I didn't know to uncheck that default. After I did that the generated configuration file loads into LinuxCNC correctly!

(My computer will automatically upgrade to 2.7.4 when it is released with just the normal apt-get upgrade correct?)

Thanks for this thread.
Installing 2.7.4 for the first time and although test motion worked great i too got the error, but the error disappeared when i unticked the invert box but of course the axis wouldn't then turn. So fresh configuration and unchecked the 'Create simulated hardware configuration' on the second screen....now works fine.
