Huh, I tried that last night and it didn't work, but I may have screwed something up. What I saw, though, was the duplication of "loadrt not" was causing the problem, and TWOPASS broke not because of the "not" naming scheme but the HOSTMOT2((DRIVER) syntax error. Things might not be as they seem, though. The debug dump is long and confusing. > > twopass: Error in file ./7i92_AM882_hack.hal: >> can't read "::HOSTMOT2((DRIVER)": no such element in array >> twopass: Error in file ./xhc-hb04.hal: >> can't read "::HOSTMOT2((BOARD)": no such element in array >> > There is absolutely no reason to have a "loadrt hostmot2" in more than one > file. It won't work. I didn't load it twice, though! 7i92_AM882_hack.hal has the loadrt line xhc-hb04.hal does NOT have the loadrt line. However, it references hostmot2 pins. All that worked fine. The xhc-hb04.hal and 7i92_AM882_hack.hal loaded fine and linuxCNC works great before including TWOPASS. My theory is that TWOPASS is breaking on the unusual syntax with these brackets. Note the errors "no such element in array" came up in both 7i92_AM882_hack.hal which DOES have the appropriate loadrt line, and xhc-hb04.hal which does NOT have its own loadrt line. i.e. after the first pass it made its own malformed loadrt line which broke because of the brackets and now neither file can find [HOSTMOT2](DRIVER) because there's no functional loadrt line. That's my initial theory, anyhow. Does the nodelete option leave around a temporary file which would help diagnose this? Where does that file end up? > > I don't know if the brackets have any effect.
