Good point, Andy - the pins available can depend on comp load-time arguments. It might make sense for the HAL gui viewer/editor to just load the comp (with the user's chosen command-line arguments) and look, rather than try to guess what pins *would* be available if it *were* loaded. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
