Hello, You may remember that I use the above script to pause emc2 (and stop spindle / coolant) from Linux command line (remote control of my machine). I need again your help: today I have mapped the program pause to one of my joystick button with this instruction in custom.hal file: net programPause input.0.btn-thumb => halui.program.pause It is working fine, but, my above script called "emc_pause" doesn't work anymore, it fails with the following error "<commandline>:0: pin 'halui.program.pause' is connected to a signal" Question: how to connect 'halui.program.pause' to both my joystick button AND my external script called "emc_pause" ? I have tried to do a logical "OR" with hal components in my custom.hal file, but it doesn't works since my "emc_pause" script doesn't address a real "pin" anymore ... Below is my attempt (placed in custom.hal): " loadrt or2 count=1 addf or2.0 servo-thread net programPause => halui.program.pause net pause-joystick or2.0.in0 <= input.0.btn-thumb net pause-console or2.0.in1 net programPause <= or2.0.out " I have then modified my emc_pause script as follow: "halcmd setp pause-console 1;" But it fails with this error: "<commandline>:0: parameter or pin 'pause-console' not found", because pause-console is a signal name with no pin associated ... Please help !
