Incorporating HAL script recommendation (2.7.14 to 2.9.4 conversion of XZC was created by Lindley
Where do I add the suggested script fix in my configuration?  The converted file from my XZC coordinate system does not work.

Report is attached.  Can provide HAL and INI if needed.

Thanks

The recommendation is not related to your problem, which is here:
HAL: ERROR: function 'pid.s.do-pid-calcs' not found
./Editlindowxzc3-11-25rev2.hal:21: addf failed

So please attach your hal and ini files.

in your hal:
change this line
loadrt pid names=pid.x,pid.z,pid.c

to:
loadrt pid names=pid.x,pid.z,pid.c,pid.s

Made suggested change...another issue.  The provided line was in the file from the conversion script and I totally missed it as I was preparing INI and HAL files base in Imperial values rather than metric.    However, another issue arose: program could not find variable INPUT_SCALE.  I believe this is the updated name for the old (2.7.14) STEP_SCALE.  I changed the INI to reflect this and tried again.  Still an issue.

Notably as I have been working on this configuration conversion.  I have encountered several apparent variable name changes between 2.7.14 and 2.9.4,  Unfortunately I did not create a list which at this point would have been helpful.

In any event here is the set of documents for my latest attempt:

FYI: Based on memory and a quick look, it appears the default and maximum velocity and acceleration variables (4 total) have an added "LINEAR" in the name for 2.9.4. This is from comparison of the TRAJ section for 2.9.4 and TRAJ and AXIS in 2.7.14 documentation.  The 2.9.4 document does mention some additional variables that carry over from the conversions involving scale aspects.

That error report still refers to the 'pid.s.do-pid-calcs' not being found. Maybe you attached the wrong file?

Very possible...wrong file attached.  

In the meantime, found several apparent errors in the HAL when comparing to the original version conversion.  Further,  I had to reset the BIOS to defaults for Debian 12 to install and had not reset the serial port address. This should be consistent set of INI, HAL, and error report files.

./Lxzc3-12-25rev4.hal:201: Ini variable '[SPINDLE_9]P' not found.

1. Your ini is missing the spindle section while your hal references 'SPINDLE_9' ini entries. Looking at your hal file makes me think that you are not actually using a spindle setup. If that is the case then you might want to completely remove this section from your hal:

Correct..do not use spindle control.  Eliminated those sections and references.  CNC now starts until encountering the axis.ngc file for the splash display which is XYZ coordinates instead of XZC. So, struggling trying to replace the file with my old splash file which was in XZC coordinates.  The file is in a read only root directory (usr/share/images/axis.ngc I believe) and I have not yet figured out how to paste in the new file.

In any event, considerable progress and light at the end of the tunnel.  

Thanks so much for the assistance and accommodating my limited competence in LINUX.
