There is an issue with the plugin claiming aux inputs - it does not do that successfully.

I wonder if there is a conflict with the keypad plugin, there should not be but can you try without it enabled?
FYI since I am away for a while I am not able to debug this now, I only have two development cards available and a Teensy is not among them. With one of them I have confirmed that pin claiming is working so the plugin itself should be ok.

[cdagneta]

Removed the keypad plugin and I'm still getting the plasma mode not available warning.

[cdagneta]

I've been poking this a bit today. I compiled the code from https://github.com/grblHAL/iMXRT1062.git and have been stepping through enabling the individual plugins to figure out which addition breaks the pin assignment.

It appears to be related to the MCP3211 plugin being included with the webbuilder by default when you choose the plasma plugin. Compiling without the MCP3221 plugin works properly and adding the module in causes the warning to appear.

It does appear that the keypad plugin also mildly conflicts with the original auto claimed pins only if I upload firmware with the keypad plugin enabled AFTER testing with firmware that only has the plasma plugin first, the keypad plugin auto-claims pins that the plasma plugin had originally tried to auto-claim and causes a conflict. Re-configuring the previous plasma auto-claimed pins to ones that don't overlap with the keypad plugin resolves that issue after a reboot.

Failed - With PLASMA, MCP3221, Y_AUTO_SQUARE

It appears to be related to the MCP3211 plugin being included with the webbuilder by default when you choose the plasma plugin. Compiling without the MCP3221 plugin works properly and adding the module in causes the warning to appear.

Good to know- I have to figure out why. The board I have here works with the MCP enabled, but that has the MCP code in ioports_analog.c unlike the Teensy where it is still in ioports.c. I'll move it when I am back home. I'll also update the webuilder to not enable the MCP driver by default and make it an option instead.

It does appear that the keypad plugin also mildly conflicts with the original auto claimed pins only if I upload firmware with the keypad plugin enabled AFTER testing with firmware that only has the plasma plugin first, the keypad plugin auto-claims pins that the plasma plugin had originally tried to auto-claim and causes a conflict.

This is/could be a tricky one to resolve, one option would be to not assign pins per default and force the user to do it instead. WIll have to think about it.

MCP3221 support (when available) must now be enabled separately in the Web Builder - in the Optional inputs tab.
