Glad to hear it's going. You'll need to add in the HAL pin links that connect estop and lube so that the demo works properly. You should also comment out the part of motenc_io.hal that loop back the estop.
You could use the program halcmd to link buttons in tkemc to signals connected to ladder inputs. You'll need a bit of tickle language to do that but this stuff can be hacked together from a couple of other Tcl/Tk programs already in the source.
