Is it possible for a real time HAL module to read config values from disk? I guess I could do it the ugly way and have two modules, one in user space to read the disk and pass values to the mealtime module.

My lathe is pretty worn near the headstock so it tends to turn tapers when working near the chuck. I want to write a kinematics module to compensate for this taper, basically adding an offset to X depending on the Z position. To do this I need to pass values to the kinematics module in a similar way to leadscrew compensation.

In the previous setup I had a simple kinematics-ish module just before X PID but it was a hack and didn't work very well, with all of the values hard coded. It also did ugly things when homing.
