It is quite cool and extremely helpful to see HAL config represented in this way. The lack of fanfare is partly because if the HAL graph gets very complicated it becomes unreadable. A more sophisticated algorithm is needed to keep the lines from piling up on each other. We looked at a bunch of them, but only the tools that cost money (big money in some cases) were up to the task. We have a very complicated HAL config for the plasma machine (http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?GantryPlasmaMachine) and it turns out to be completely unreadable using the imbedded tool. That said, for many hal configs, or if you are just beginning to write one, this view is extremely useful. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
