OTOH, the encoder man page says thats Phase-Z: hm2/hm2_7i90.0: IO Pin 008 (P1-17): Encoder #0, pin Index (Input) Which is the 3rd channel from the hall effects watching the 60 tooth gear on the spindle. >From the man page: motion.spindle-index-enable I/O BIT For correct operation of spindle synchronized moves, this signal must be hooked to the index-enable pin of the spindle encoder. And from the encoder man page: encoder.N.index-enable bit i/o When true, counts and position are reset to zero on the next rising edge of Phase-Z. At the same time, index-enable is reset to zero to indicate that the rising edge has occurred. None of the above is hooked up in this hal file. I think I can sort this tomorrow, if I'm not swimming, the talking heads are saying 2 to 3", possible flooding. OTOH I'm a good 40 feet above the river. So I should be dry. :) > > > On Thu, 22 Jun 2017 22:23:08 -0400 > > Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > On Thursday 22 June 2017 20:59:22 Gene Heskett wrote: > > > Greetings everybody; > > > > > > This same file ran on TLM just fine about 8 months back as I was > > > making x drive parts for this Sheldon. > > > > > > But on the Sheldon, it pauses at the beginning of the g33.1 motion > > > as if its waiting on motion.spindle-at-speed to go true, when in > > > fact its been true all along. > > > > > > So my question then is, does motion.spindle-at-speed need an > > > initial false input to "arm" its sensitivity to getting z motion > > > started when it does go true? > > > > And before someone asks, yes, encoder.00.position is hooked to > > motion.spindle-revs, and I can see it marching along with a halmeter > > as the spindle turns.
