Post your hal file to a message so we can look at it.

Pin names must be exactly as you see them in show hal configuration with dots and dashes and underscores in the correct place. There is a guideline for programmers on how to format pin names but that doesn't matter for a user.

Signal names (created by users) iirc can be any combination of letters, numbers, dash, underscore or period.

Oh, stop pulling your hair out and pull on the fishes hair then fry them.

I don't see anything wrong in your hal file. I assume that your loading halui in your ini file with

HALUI = halui

linuxcnc.org/docview/html/config/ini_con...id_sub_hal_section_a

Open up a watch window and put the parallel port pin in the watch window and cycle the machine power.

Hal Configuration/pins/halui/machine/is-on shows the watch light changing from red to yellow OK.

Hal Configuration/pins/parport/0/pin-16-out shows no change. light stays red.

HALUI = halui is in the ini file. Here is the .ini file. I have made no entries to the .ini. Carl This attachment is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it.

I see nothing strange in your ini and it looks ok.

What about the signal when you put it into a watch window what do you see?
