I recently beat the Eagle-to-HAL scripts and libraries into producing a complete HAL configuration for my Sherline, with USB Joggy Thing, XYXA axes, probe & home switches, plus the default "manual toolchanger": http://softsolder.com/2013/03/06/eagle-hal-configuration-sherline-hal-file-2/ Shorter link: http://wp.me/poZKh-3k2 Those schematics describe everything in the (admittedly few) HAL files for the Sherline and produce one monster auto-generated HAL file with the complete set of interconnections. The tedious part involves creating Eagle library "parts" to match the HAL components, but there's a good selection of the basics already available. I'll be forcing myself to do Mesa 5i25 / 7i76 boards (for some of the many firmware loads) in the near future. With the Eagle parts in hand, wiring 'em up in a schematic is straightforward. I think it's easier to see what's going on and *definitely* easier to make changes in a schematic than in the raw HAL text files. > but I am not sure any have been shown to work properly.
