Yes it is, you just listed it, and can see the pins in Machine->Show HAL Config. > 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? HALUI provides a set of HAL pins for User Interfaces. Whether you twiddle them with GUI buttons or physical buttons is up to you. > 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#. No, that is something completely different. For every entry in the [HALUI] section an _extra_ HAL pin is created. Starting with halui.mdi-command-00 So, if you had [HALUI]MDI_COMMAND=G0X0Y0Z0 then whenever the halui.mdi-command-00 HAL pin went high, the machine would move to 0,0,0 Connect that HAL pin to a physical button through GPIO and you can crash tools in an instant. > So, once I locate some R8 tap holders, rigid tapping should be a piece of > cake. Just hold them in an R8 ER Collet.
