If so, can you say which file and which page? You seem to be trying to put Python code in G-code. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/hal/halmodule.html You can read HAL pins at the _beginning_ of a G-code routine, but the format is quite different. #<_Z_dist>=#<_hal[ovrtrvl-scaler-mux.out]) http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/remap/remap.html#remap:referto-hal-items But that won't work here, as the G-code gets the interpreter value, not the run-time value. What you need to do is net G-code-input ovrtrvl-scaler-mux.out => motion.analog-in-00 Then in the g-code M66 E0 L0 #<Z_dist> = #5399 -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
