Thanks Andy; The setp mode 1 stopped the negative jumps. I also went with 4x mode. I went with the A phase only thinking it may reduce process overhead and allow higher spindle speeds. The more I thought the less I believed it.
I still have a similar symptom, as follows: - motiom.spindle-speed-in and - signals-spindle-velocity are jumping around together (always in proper polarity) depending on spindle RPM (10 to 200). How often and how far they jump is a function of speed with no correlation to the speed; as if the signal processing was not synchronized with the input encoder signals. The .hal configuration is as follows: addf encoder.update-counters base-thread addf encoder.capture-position servo-thread setp encoder.0.position-scale 200 #setp encoder.0.x4-mode 1 (Is Defaulted true) net spindle-index-enable encoder.0.index-enable <=> motion.spindle-index-enable net spindle-phase-b motenc.0.in-05-not => encoder.0.phase-B net spindle-phase-a motenc.0.in-06-not => encoder.0.phase-A net spindle-index motenc.0.in-07-not => encoder.0.phase-Z net spindle-position encoder.0.position => motion.spindle-revs net spindle-velocity encoder.0.velocity => motion.spindle-speed-in I appreciate any HELP, before all my hair is pulled out.
