I was working on adding a spindle encoder to make my Bridgeport Interact 2 mill capable of rigid tapping.
I finally added one today, and it works on a basic level, as in, EMC2 gets the encoder value through Jon's PPMC. I am concerned with whether the readout from the encoder is accurate, or, perhaps, it is missing some pulses due to some mistake of mine. The idea that I have is to run the spindle for, say a minute, and then compare the count of index pulses with the value of spindle position. They should be close within one, I think. I already get the encoder float value as ppmc.0.encoder.03.position. How do I get index count? The encoder does output index pulses. i ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
