Thank you
I did try it and added to my tormach_lathe_sim.hal
loadusr -W mb2hal config=mb2hal.ini
with jsut a default sample config
Immediately got a error. checking the log I say mb2hal not found
went to the sources directory and cp mb2hal ~/tmc/bin
Rebooted, quicker actually
Came up ok this time except excessive logging so tweaked the debug settings in the sample (doesn't actually have anything it's connecting to at this point)
Code:

and I can see the hal variables showing up
Code:
19 float OUT 0 mb2hal.XDrive01.00.float
19 s32 OUT 0 mb2hal.XDrive01.00.int
19 float OUT 0 mb2hal.XDrive01.01.float
19 s32 OUT 0 mb2hal.XDrive01.01.int
19 u32 OUT 0x00000000 mb2hal.XDrive01.num_errors
now to make it work
I do want to write a custom VFD Driver for the Teco EV101 but figure using mb2hal would be quickest way to get a spindle going.
also have some Modbus Relays to use which for mb2hal should be simple to implement.
