aha, a way around that limit, so I assume one could "source" 2 or even 3 additionals that way? Actually, I have it sortof working, by merging the align stuffs into custom_postgui.hal, but I've edited all that stuff to give it more unique variable names since my own code is sprinkled liberally with #<_start-y> and #<_end-y> etc sorts of globals. However, while show hal watch says the button clicks are now working, the 1st of those 4 teeny little routines will not run, giving a seek o<word>: o<align-start> error in line -2147483647 popup advisory, then because it didn't set its global vars, the other 3 run but report garbage data. align-start: ===========BEGIN o<align_start> sub (msg, this is align start) ( this subroutine records the current location of x and y into) ( the global variables _stuart-x and _stuart-y) #<_stuart_x> = #5420 #<_stuart_y> = #5421 (debug, stuart XY = #<_stuart-x> #<_stuart-y>) o<align_start> endsub M2 EOF============== So I have another error, where I've not yet found. In hal show, under components, I have a cu-filter-PID that never comes ready, always initializing. But I don't think that is connected, it should be part of camview-emc as I have a util.crop in the video chain for zooming, and which works ok. Open to suggestions as to what to check next.
