I've run into issues with naming of pins in the HAL file. Is there something newer than this? http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/motion.9.html#MOTION%20PARAMETERS The reason I ask is for both my LinuxCNC with MESA 7i92H and the MachineKit on the BBB pins like: motion.spindle-speed-out-abs
Those are older spindle names
aren't documented in the above document. But they are what I believe was created What's in the document is spindle.M.spindle-speed-out-abs (where M is 0..n)
This changed sometime in 2.8
So there's a disconnect from this manual compared to what is in both the MachineKit and LinuxCNC 2.8. Both the PC and the Pi4 version.
The manual reflects the current release (2.8.1)
The PNCconf generated the initial hal file for me and the stepconf generated the parallel port version. Maybe those programs haven't been updated for years and the new motion software still supports the 'old' way?
If you update to 2.8.1, both motion and pncconf use the new spindle names (like spindle.M.spindle-speed-out-abs)
