I am trying to put this in to watch the VFD modbus driver's "watchdog" pin, and tie a pyvcp LED showing VFD is good, as per: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/watchdog.9.html
I used: loadrt watchdog num_inputs=1 addf watchdog servo-thread I have 2 issues: One, it generates the following error: HAL: ERROR: function 'watchdog' not found custom_postgui.hal:42: addf failed My first thought was "well, I didn't include which watchdog it was, it needs to be watchdog.0". But that just gets "function 'watchdog.0' not found". And the line "setp watchdog.timeout-0 1.0" DOES pass, as does "net vfdReadyLed watchdog.ok-out => pyvcp.vfd-ready-led". Second, I'm confused. The man pages only offers "num_inputs" as an option, and that only creates more fan-in, not multiple components. There's no "count" or "names" parameter, and I tried, HAL just errors "unknown parameter" when it loads. So can there only be one "watchdog" component, ever? That doesn't seem right at all, that's not how HAL components work. But how would you include more, and refer to different ones? How does "addf" work?
