Thanks Andy, I’ll play with HAL today and see what happens. Jon, you’re using the motion pins (spindle.0.xxxxx) while the "Spindle" component also has the same naming format and some of the same names. It took me awhile to sort it out.
See this forum thread for clarification: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/32-documents/40798-spindle-on-pin <https://forum.linuxcnc.org/32-documents/40798-spindle-on-pin> Nonetheless, I’m a little confused on whether the motion spindle speed output can be manipulated without the forward and reverse SSR’s being reversed. Ignoring the spindle component for a moment, how would motion know you’ve modified a speed output to alter the spindle.0.forward and spindle.0.reverse outputs? At any rate, hopefully I can experiment today as suggested by Andy. > On Dec 14, 2020, at 11:19 AM, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, 14 Dec 2020 at 16:15, Jon Elson <el...@pico-systems.com> wrote: > >> Well, interesting.
