And I find that it was already loadrt'd, and addf'd to jog-thread in postgui.hal. So its loaded and its pins show up for halmeter's list. But common sense says there should be "motion" signals to "net" it to/from, but I can't find anything that shows the axis radio buttons to halmeter except axisui for x and z as a status output. So its in there, but whats next? What I want to do is make the ui buttons follow the activity of the dials that have replaced the hand cranks, so that if I enable the Z dial, and move the nachine with it, the uui radio buttons follow it, thereby steering a touchoff to the correct axis automaticly. When dooing setup touchoffs, its very frustrating and train of thought destroying to have to remember to grab the mouse and enable the correct axis you are thinking you are applying it to the axis you just jogged to position, and discover the touchoff point you just found and applied, has been applied to the other axis, destroying the work already done to calibrate it. So making those buttons think you are doing all this from the keyboard is the target here. Those dials have their own speed controls and jog distance per click, so are many times more accurately done than jogging with the keyboard can do.
