Hello Jim.
Linuxcnc has two gui menu based configuration programs, stepconf and pncconf. Do they not fit what you are trying to accomplish? IMHO helping maintain and expand these programs is better for the community, then dividing time on yet another configuration program. I'm pretty sure you have no idea what kind of on-going work you are setting your self up for :) I did maintenance on stepconf and wrote pncconf and I'm pretty burnt out over them. If you are bent on a new config program - I would humbly suggest you keep the scope small to begin with- you will find there are many many little details that make it hard to write general function that cover general situation..eg hardware drivers all use different pin names some just slightly some largely so. Welcome !

I have a feature that I would like to attempt to add to the LinuxCNC project so I joined this list as I figured it was a better place to ask questions about development. I think that many users would greatly benefit from a GUI based HAL configurator. I downloaded the latest source code from the git repository. I have been looking at all of the HAL source code that I can find. The one application that I cannot find is the halshow application that is used to show the current running HAL configuration. Where is the source code for this application located? I was thinking about adding the functionality to this application. I also saw that someone had started a graphical HAL configurator and it was last modified some 11 years ago. This application is written in python but it is incomplete. Does anyone know who was working on this portion of the project?
