IOCONTROL(1)

💖 iocontrol(1) — HAL Component 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the iocontrol page, straight out of the HAL Component section of the manual. it's giving lowkey iconic, fr fr. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

iocontrol — interacts with HAL or G-code in non-realtime 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

[EMCIO]
EMCIO = io

or

EMCIO = iov2

like. pick one. that's the whole vibe check. 🙈

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — I/O control handles all your I/O tasks, and we're talking coolant, toolchange, E-stop and lube. the whole squad. 👑

the signals get turned on and off in non-realtime, either with G-code, or — in the case of E-stop specifically — in HAL. periodt. 💅

and then there's I/O Control V2 (iov2), which adds more toolchanger support for communication with the toolchanger. not me being obsessed with extra toolchanger functionality 😭🫶

whether you're running io or iov2 is a choice you make in the [EMCIO] section of the INI file. your call, your main character moment. ✨
