It's a little hairier than that, the wj200_vfd is written as a .comp file but it needs to link against libmodbus, so the normal halcompile work flow does not work. Danny, check out the linuxcnc git repo (instructions here: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html#_the_git_revision_control_system). Make sure you can build the code before you make any changes. See instructions in the top-level README file for details on how to build. In src/hal/user_comps there's a subdirectory named wj200_vfd, you're probably best off copying that whole directory, renaming all the files and variables from wj200 to x200, and making your modifications in the renamed files. Let me know if you get stuck in this process, I'll be happy to help. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
