The hal meter menu and the show halconfig do show some halui stuff, but the axis gui is 100% bereft of any halui buttons.
I'd assume this chain of events starts with an entry in the custom_postgui.hal file, and when I first started to configure this machine back in July after installing the ball screws & some gingerbread, it errored out and would not run until I had excised the line it was fussing about. But, if I made any notes at the time, they've long since disappeared itno the sands of time as I was more interested at thge time in making the basics work. That has been accomplished, and today the big box was hoisted by my deer hoist hooked to a skyhook in the garage ceiling, and the rest of the computer related stuff moved into the furniture I hung on the garage wall. Even a direct spindle reverse is accomplished in a few hundred milliseconds at 1200 rpms! So Jon's pwm servo driver is absolutely working as it should be. So I expect that rigid tapping will be possible, however I will be looking for an R8 tap driver, something that will grip the square shank of a tap and absolutely prevent its slipping as it would if mounted in a drill chuck. If anyone knows where a set of those can be obtained, I am all ears. But, despite all the halui stuff, no halui gui bits and pieces are generated. I suspect a line I nuked may be the missing piece of the puzzle, but I do have some halui stuff on the toy mill, associated with the camera operations. But a grep of that directory on the toy mills computer also doesn't show me a line that looks like the original invocation line. So I've still no clue where to start. Advice will be checked out.
