Python HAL script, Pins not working

Hi,
Im working on a automatic tool changer and have decided to adapt code from the hal_manualtoolchange component that already exists. Mostly because this solves the "what if the tool asked for is not in the magazine" question already. 

Anyway. I have added more hal pins to the component and they show up fine in hal show (see attached image). however when i write a command to one of the outputs from the python script i get an error saying that "pin or parameter xxxx not found" (see attached image)

The original hal pins from the base script work fine however. Do i need to add the pins somewhere else as well to get things rolling?
Reading the "Creating userspace python components" manual doesnt mention any thing more than what is already done in the script. 

I have attached my script as well. 
 

This might just be that you are trying to net the pins before the component is loaded.
You could try loadusr -W to wait for the component to finish loading, or just move all the net commands for it to the postgui HAL file.

The signals that work are in the base hal file.
Come to think of it the once that doesn't work are in a postgui hal.

I will try and play around with when they are loaded to see if it makes any difference.

You can put a "show pin" in the HAL file to get a list of pins that exist at that point in the loading process.

Or "show pin *tool*" or similar for a shorter list.

I have played around with connecting the pins in different stages of boot with no luck.

I also realized i may have been a bit unclear as to the nature of the error.
The error i have attached a image of in the first post is generated when i run a setp command i hal show. Its not really related to when the pins are being connected to each other or not. To be able to run the setp i had to comment out the connection in hal file. Otherwise it wouldn't let me run the setp command at all. Maybe this narrows down the problem a bit more.

The same error occurs when the python script tries to alter the state of that same pin. (with it connected in hal file)

You can't "setp" a pin that is connected to a signal.

You can "sets" the signal, unless it contains a writer (ie, HAL "out" pin)
