That is how it should be done, everything needs a priority list or order of things.

The conversion script will convert configs that it is presented with, but doesn't get the opportunity when folk hand-edit to the old pin names.

OMFG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Okay, probably too early to start rejoicing, however linuxcnc booted up w/out error!

Thank you gentlemen. I had to change the stepgen (in THC.hal) over to the hm2_7i96... etc. and completely delete the "EMBED_TAB_COMMAND" to shirk the gladevcp errors.

Here is the current working file set, now forever on the internet for posterity (and my sanity) sake!

What is this?

Located in your plasma.hal :

setp hm2_7i96.0.dpll.01.timer-us -50

It looks like a timer with a negative value of -50 nano seconds?

Watchdog is 5 million nano second's?

Okey i understand stepgen control type = 1. :woohoo:

Nice you have no error's moving around. Keep up the good work !!

Next item would be to connect your z axis. Read about Tom's stepper solution for z axis.

My NC float switch is presenting a bit of a problem, I can't put it as in-not without linuxcnc error "pin doesn't exist".

I'll change it to NO for now, see if it has any problems. A potential fix is welcome however.
