Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Possibly dumb question - 7i76 encoder for spindle speed feedback Ok - I had an issue with the encoder scale - setting it to a fraction seems to have helped. It seems like I'm having lots of noise, though. Halscope on hm2_5i25.encoder.00.input-a gives me a nice smooth

Hi all; I'm back working on my mill with spindle tachometer, to utilize Andy Pugh's automatic spindle speed selector example code. I have, from the spindle sensor, input going to a 6N138 optoisolator's input. Ground and voltage source tied to machine. It sources enough current to drive the input
