Thanks to Andy's pointing in the right direction I was able to combine the pendant and joypad files and make the mux 4 changes so that both of them work. Thanks Andy! Next question - the pendant has an external estop switch that I'd like to activate. The current working estop is on the control box and is hooked in through pin 10 on parallel port 0. Works fine, lasts a long time. The pendant estop switch is hooked in through pin 15 on parallel port two. I've tried a number of different things - different variable names, but it seems the iocontrol.0.<whatever> can only work on that 0 bit. How does one program in two different external estops, on different parallel ports and get them both recognized through the hal files? If I change the estop pin in from pport 0 pin 10 to pport 1 pin 15 the pendant estop works, and vice versa for the control box estop, so I know I have two working switches.
