None of that is visible anyplace. So, are these then not going to be gui buttons, but just stuff that can be used in the .hal file? Or in gcode programing? Its called halui, for hal user interface, so where and how can it be used by the user? There appear to be 201 lines of this, but the docs say you can only define 64 of them in the .ini file under [HALUI] by giving them an MDI#. I do note that in the report I posted, no "links" are listed for lube or coolant, but those checkboxes do exist in the left panel of axis. And if the spindle is turning, clicking on the brakes checkbox does stop and brake it. In this case brakes are phantom so it just goes off. On my lathe, I have cobbled up a gearchange that shows up in the right panel, but its quite rube goldbergish and I was not able to make the auto mode work. The idea was to look at the filtered pid.#.error and use that to toggle whatever the hi and lo buttons do. I'll see if that code can be incorporated here, maybe even figure out how to make the auto button actually work this time. One thing that did pleasantly surprise me yesterday was playing on the MDI mode, Jon's pwm servo amp, with the current limit set about 20% north of the motors max draw, can do a spindle direction change without error, in substantially under 1 second, even at 1500 revs! So, once I locate some R8 tap holders, rigid tapping should be a piece of cake. No one has commented on the availability of that bit of R8 tooling however. And the first 10 pages of an ebay search seems to say that tap holding and R8 tooling shanks have never been combined.
