Killed my system trying to install a iMach3 P2S pendent

Since I couldn't get my shuttle pro working I bought a Vista CNC iMachIII P2-S pendent that alleged Linux CNC Compatibility.

I believe I closely followed the installation instructions, but nor my LinuxCNC won't start. Doe!

Any ideas?

The error is this:

./vc-p2s.hal:22: Pin 'halui.axis.x.plus' was already linked to signal 'jog-x-pos'

What the means is that you have a duplicate hal connection on line 22
of vc-p2s.hal (which you did not post here)

It duplicates this line:

# ---HALUI signals---

net axis-select-x halui.axis.x.select
net jog-x-pos halui.axis.x.plus <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
net jog-x-neg halui.axis.x.minus
net jog-x-analog halui.axis.x.analog


near the bottom of Boss5_2020...02-2.hal

I attached the vc-p2s.hal file. So how do I fix this. Remove one? which one?

I would probably comment them out in the
Boss5_2020...02-2.hal file.



I suspect you will find _many_ similar errors

I'll start coomenting stuff out. I did not build this file, It was provided by the pendent vendor. Nothing works out of the box for Linux CNC!

It's back running! Thanks!! I didn't have much time to test, but after commenting out 15 or so lines it's working, I think I'm back in operation and the pendent even seems to work for at least basic functions. I guess the autopsy doesn't matter too much, but i'm still wondering what went so wrong here. Did I screw it up? in this case, I don't think so, I certainly did not key those lines into the files. Is it poor software from Vista CNC? Or some incompatibility with Vista CNC and the pncconf wizard?
