Thanks Andy. Thats a whole class in cnc science all by itself.

I think I'll see how it runs in PDM.  That mode sounds interesting, and 
would lend itself to CCS speed control a bit smoother. I'm also trying 
to setup a spindle-at-speed signal based on the i/o diff of a lowpass 
filter.  Theory being that if the i and o values being a close enough, 
the spindle is at whatever speed command was issued. But that will need 
a minimum speed detector. Doable, put everything in low gear and feed 
the motor 20hz and see what the tach says. My hal file is growing. :)

I've not figured out how to set the pdm frequency yet, but I'm sure its 
in there.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
