Greetings; I just found a bug in the two-pass logging in /tmp/tmp_nameofconfig.hal Since its a bit chilly today, I have spent most of the day embellishing the dmesg output capture to give me a wiring list, cleaning up comments and formatting in the hal file as I went often putting comments in boxes of * after the initial # that marks the whole line as a comment.
But one such "box" also contained some setp's and when I ended the box with a stack of * chars, lcnc refused to start. LCNC did at one time log the bad line # to the konsole when that occurred but thats now on the missing list so I was looking at the /tmp/halfile it left for clues. The tmp_configname.hal had a complaint about a ; character in a setp statement, and it took me half an hour to realize it was actually complaining about the ending * on a setp line to make the box purty. Removeing them fixed it. So would a # in front of it. Maybe I miss interpreted what it said, but I spent some time looking for an errant ; that did not exist when I should have been looking for an *. Had that error message been formatted with a : I would have grokked it a lot faster. I fixed the missing DIR signal from the 2nd pwm by using a pair of modules absS/A.sign which looks like it will work perfectly (in a perfect world) Not yet wired up for testing though.
