Which, if the equipment works, can indeed be fun. But I had not fun yesterday, seems I wrote some code that wouldn't run on a 2.8-pre running machine. I found a way around it, but used half of one of my work days figuring it out, and having slept on it, I think its probably pebkac in my .hal file. Apparently I need to make a memory cell out of something and some if/then/else control over the execution of the boot module, which tickles the pwm-servo that runs the spindle. It does it at every spindle start. But its only needed at initial power-up, which would be at starting lcnc. I have a delay to allow a soft start of the spindle psu else it trips a 30 amp breaker with its in-rush. Enabling that at the full power enable point would be where the boot of the pwm-servo should be, so it might not be that complex to fix.. Extended study of what is supposed to be a simple function is indicated. A rockhopper diagram about 4 feet square I already printed might help, its been over a year since the .hal was touched. And my short term memory has long since forgotten the gritty stuff. :O( Thanks Mark. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
