There are quite a few examples of adding Spindle Tacho displays to Axis but I can't find much about how one detects the spindle speed in a useful manner without some fancy encoder.
My mill spindle already has a 'slotted' disk for the inbuilt tacho so I was thinking of sticking a simple slotted phototransistor thingie on the same disk...... but what do I do then? All the spindle speed stuff I've found talks about encoders and the only likely candidate in pnc/stepconf is the Digital Input 0-4 but my Google-fu is weak and I can't join the dots. Any pointers? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russ...@lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android™ apps run on BlackBerry®10 Introducing the new BlackBerry 10.2.1 Runtime for Android apps.
