On my mill, my GS2 VFD speed was 'off' (not to mention backwards), and I used the loadrt scale count=1 in my cutom.hal file to accommodate for that. You can read about it here in the docs: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/spindle.html Not sure that's what you're looking for, but maybe it helps. Good luck, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
