Hi all,

I got an error whith the EMC2 tools. I wrote a small code to test
the HAL loadusr environment. My goal is to get the M67 command pass some
value into the zzlaser code.

When I run the following code into a halrun command started from a
bash shelf, this code is working OK.

halrun cmd ********************************************************

$ halrun
halcmd: loadusr -W zzlaser
halcmd: net ppp zzlaser.0.xxpos
halcmd: show
Loaded HAL Components:
ID Type Name PID State
3 User zzlaser 6262 ready
2 User halcmd6261 6261 ready

Component Pins:
Owner Type Dir Value Name
3 float IN 0 zzlaser.0.xxpos <== ppp

Pin Aliases:
Alias Original Name

Signals:
Type Value Name (linked to)
float 0 ppp
==> zzlaser.0.xxpos
...
sets ppp 2.000
...

*****************************************************************

From the above code, I can track the 2.000 value into the zzzfff file.

But if I run the same code from the EMC2 AXIS window, I got an error
message that zzlaser.0.xxpos pin does not exist as showed bellow.
Note: In order to get the zzlaser started when I start the EMC2 window,
the custom_postgui.hal file is filled with:
source zzlaser.hal

}
else {
fprintf(fdp, "init: open OK\n");
fflush(fdp);
}

fprintf(fdp, "main loop: started\n");
fflush(fdp);

while(1) {

if (xxpos == -1.000)
break;

zzcount++;
fprintf(fdp, "cnt=%d, Xpos=%f\n", zzcount, xxpos);
fflush(fdp);
}
sleep(2);
}
}

EXTRA_CLEANUP() {
fclose(fdp);
}

Is the problem just that you can't decide if the pin is called xxpos or zzpos?
