I think hal_joystick.c: http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/emc2/src/hal/user_comps/devices/hal_joystick.c?rev=1.2;content-type=text%2Fplain
might be a good model to follow for making my modbus user-land component. My guess would be that one would setup HAL and the the HAL pins and then loop to update the inputs and outputs, but the joystick pins are set up in the main loop. Why is that? There is a prefix parameter used to name the pins and buttons but not the component itself: ... snprintf(name, HAL_NAME_LEN-1, "hal_joystick-%d", getpid()); comp_id = hal_init(name); ... Is there a reason not to use the prefix here?
