Inverting jogging sense of X Axis on a VistaCNC P1A-S pendant

Thanks Ben, I tried your suggestion but the behaviour is the same. Works in Velocity mode but not in Step mode.
I spent the morning looking at signals with halmeter but I cannot figure this out.

Thanks for taking your time to look into this.

You need to keep name  for axis z as joint2. I noticed in your ini file you using the name joint 1 that should 2.
For the exposed pin from the vista pedant keep the names of the axis as number example vc-p1as.axis.0,
I attached revised hal file check for typos
revise your own ini file for joint names (numbers)

edit:
have read through this thread:

Since this is for a lathe, there are only 2 joints in the HAL parameters. LinuxCNC requires that the joints are numbered from 0 consecutively, that is, I can only have joints 0 and 1. The association between joint 1 and the z axis is done in the HAL files. With that association, GCode works properly.

As I mentioned before, the pendant was jogging the X axis as I wanted in Step, Velocity and Continuous mode before I moved to the mesa card. I was using exactly the same vc-p1as.hal file as the one I'm trying to use now. Something very subtle changed and that's what I'm trying to figure out.

I tried debugging with halmeter and see what signals were triggered when I used the pendant, but that didn't help much. I'm still learning about the HAL.

Thanks once again for looking into this issue.
