Great minds, I just thought of adding a module, putting it in the correct place in the addf order & feeding it from hal but using its output in the gcode. That syntax '#<_hal[pinname]>' may be the key to the backwards path I need to actually make it work. And a debug statement is all it will take to prove its working. But that also means the loading of the module will have to be moved out of the postgui.hal to the initial loadrt's and addf's so that the modules output exists at the hal scan time, else the error is that the pin doesn't exist. I can sort that I think as geany's copy/paste is I think, global. I think I may have already done that as postgui.hal is all 'net' statements: net showdist1 <= scale-ovrtrvl.out => ovrtrvl-scaler-mux.in1 net display-mode <= units.G21 => ovrtrvl-scaler-mux.sel setp scale-ovrtrvl.gain 25.400000 # here, use a scale and a mux2 to select the scale.in for inches, or the scale.out # for a mm's conversion. So in the gcode: #<-z_depth> = [#< _hole_depth> - #<_hal[ovrtrvl-scaler-mux.out]>] Which will subtract the overtravel from the gcode var that sets the ultimate depth of the hole. And it should be a value less for the peck increment than this. And I could warn if the peck increment was greater than the over travel, which would setup a crash anyway situation. Thank you very much. Once I get both eyes open for the day. I'll test it.
