In one of my lathe configs, all hal software, not 5i25, I have a couple instances of wcomp, one of which is watching the encoder velocity output, to run the staging of a pair of relays that control the loading for dynamic braking. I also have in that config, the ability to synthesize a stop signal for the turnaround stop when an m3/m4 or vice versa is done by the planner while running the G33.1 rigid tapping cycle. They do not detect the stopped condition, I used a one shot watching an encoder A phase for that. Complex indeed, but it worked well enough that I used it to peck tap several holes with it on a pure parport & cnc4pc BOB only setup. If you are interested in looking at my idiocy, David, I can PM it. Well organized its not.
