I tried heaps of options to get it to turn on until I did that with motion-type.

The space should not make any difference except to pedantic code reviewers. :side:

So if you want to test if the torch is shorted which is what I think you really want to do, you could use the or2 component so that power-on or the plasmac test button turn the relay.

You should know enough about hal by now to do that yourself

My attention to detail knows no bounds :laugh:

... except when I miss the obvious haha

You give me more credit than I deserve, but I’ll dork around with it and try to figure it out, there has to be an example out there I can plagiarize shamelessly!

As it turns out, maybe I don't give myself enough credit...

loadrt  or2
addf    or2.0                   servo-thread
net plasmac:ohmic-enable => or2.0.in0
net ohmic:power => or2.0.in1
net or-out or2.0.out => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-01

And it works like I'd expect!

There's one thing I dont quite get with regard to HAL, why dont these follow the net <signal> <source> => <destination> convention:

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

Unfortunately there is no convention, folk do it the way that suits them.

The => and <= are not required, they are only used to make it (supposedly) easily human readable.

Yea, but I guess what I'm asking, is the other ones had 3 things. For example:

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

or is Rod just breaking it up ? Meaning, would the following do the same thing:

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

Just trying to wrap my head around this... starting to make sense, but just enough to get the thing to error out and complain to me until I get it right. :laugh:

Yes, they both give the same result.

Great work. I just break it up because when I come back to it later and want to use the same signal I find it's there. Other times I have had to change some statements to expose what I want.
