Good day,
I'm running into an issue when trying to run the calibration tool (as my servo's need additional tuning). In my view, I feel that this issue might be a result of variable name expansion - where the tool does not like the fact the way I've setup my .HAL file - but I cannot confirm this.
LinuxCNC version: 2.9.8
OS: Debian 13
Steps to Reproduce: Within any GUI, launch the calibration tool. If a refresh is attempted or any value is attempted to be saved - a variation on the below error occurs. If I manually hardcode the value of mesa_pwm_pin instead of using variable expansion, it no longer complains and moves on to complaining about the next use of variable expansion (e.g. 'MESA_encoder_PIN').
Expected Behavior: Calibration tool should function without requiring a full edit of my .HAL file.
Thank you in advance for your time, or any work around you can suggest - apologizes if this is simply an error on my end.
Regards -
