If you mean by an open ended timing belt that is fixed at both ends and the motor is traversing along the belt then, yes. One glaring omission in my initial reply was not accounting for a speed reduction. I'm guess there will be one between your servo and timing belt pulley. In that case you have t

Peter; I am attempting to setup a new control chain for my lathes spindle. One that will be a bunch simpler in the hal file. The 5i25's pwmgen actually has a duty cycle range from about 1% to 98% of so. So if I am using a scale factor there, to tame the axis big jumps when clicking on the +

If you have an AC current pickup transformer and a scope around, it is really easy to see what is going on with the motor. Put one motor lead through the transformer, put a burden resistor across the transformer and put the scope across the resistor. This will show you the current flow of the motor

The scope pictures need some accompanying explanation from the original poster. My guess would be that each cycle of the spindle-revs sawtooth is one pass of the G33 cycle. The falling edge of the sawtooth happens when the spindle hits the index before the pass. Axis speed prior to that point is
