Andy, The component is indeed in 2.9. But the sample code mentioned in the hal_port doc you list aren't. See: https://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/man/man3/hal_port.3hal.html#SAMPLE%20CODE <https://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/man/man3/hal_port.3hal.html#SAMPLE%20CODE> So the poor user has no clue on how to use it. Specifically these files were promised to be sent in a separate Pull request which has not eventuated. https://github.com/DuttonIndustrial/linuxcnc/tree/29127782da2da3e26b8d5e9c233cbaa9fea653a4/configs/sim/axis/laser https://github.com/DuttonIndustrial/linuxcnc/blob/29127782da2da3e26b8d5e9c233cbaa9fea653a4/src/hal/components/laserpower.comp https://github.com/DuttonIndustrial/linuxcnc/blob/29127782da2da3e26b8d5e9c233cbaa9fea653a4/src/hal/components/raster.comp It would be great to finish the job off.
