I'd be happy with the existing single INI file if there was a way to pull in constants from a modular HAL file, specifically values for the maximum velocity and acceleration that have to be fed to the [AXIS_] sections AFAIK *ONLY* via the INI file. And which require a LinuxCNC restart to modify. :( ...but I don't think that's what you're doing with HAL, and I don't think it's possible (it could create circular dependencies). Basically what I'm wanting is a way to pull in a few constants to the INI file without having to show a new user (or encourage them to edit!) the entire file. It's very similar to Seb's issue with the example configurations. There is a *LOT* of repetition in the various HM2 examples, which could be collapsed into a single core file with a few modular tweaks if the INI parsing supported it. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net
