HAL Question

Well, you can use whatever pin you like if you change these lines...

net ohmic:power <= ohmicsense.power-on
net ohmic:power => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-01

As I said its a work in progress I rushed out in an unsupported post on the forum becasue you guys had bought a THCAD based on my recommendation and had problems with a water table when it had never been developed on one.

The original suggestion from PCW was just to turn it on when you turned the machine on but I don't think thats a good idea where water is involved and switching the DC side introduced additional components to the sensing circuit which was undesirable

Phill covered it here

net plasmac:ohmic-enable plasmac.ohmic-enable => ohmicsense.is-probing

so try

net ohmic:power <= plasmac.ohmic-enable
net ohmic:power => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-01

YOu could use his example but you'd need to delete/comment out a couple of unlinkp's

One day it will click. Some people like to combine stuff into one line like PHill does but I have found its much easieer to follow on two lines like I did.

The first line creates a signal. Think of this as a wire.
The second line connects the wire to a physical input

Think of HAL components as being electrical components on a circuit board

net signal_name  from_output => to_input to_another_input ..

Thats kinda how I think of it, but I find it easier to read if it is on one line like, create a signal from output to input.. to more inputs if required.

net signal_name  from_output => to_input to_another_input ..
