I added the math and still pulled a bunch of errors. Passing it on to a buddy of mine who at knows programming to see what he can do. He's not a wizard with linuxCNC but he has remote access to my other LinuxCNC machine as he's helping me out with that.

My friend got this to compile this morning. I show:
pins
parameters
Edit: had a slight misunderstanding of the function of the component at first. This is what I'm thinking of doing in HAL for this: (#= already connected signal)
If I'm reading the component right, it looks like the spindle-at-speed and spindle is on must be true once before the condition is met for the spindle-underspeed pin to go true when the underspeed is detected. For most cases I think this would work good, but I'm thinking this may ignore the case that the spindle stalls before it gets upto speed (belt jams or something). I think this would be solved if there were some time consideration (a parameter) given to set the condition of spindle-underspeed pin going true between the time that spindle-on and spindle-at-speed set level 2.
Any insight on the above Andy? I'll test/use it as is if the above looks correct since it will probably take care of 90% of my concerns anyway.

The above was wrong, some of the pins weren't quite what I thought they were, and estop_latch component was incorrect as well and I have no idea why I setp the threshold to 24000. I got it working but it was rather finicky until I put the hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.velocity pin through the lowpass component before going into spindle-monitor.0.spindle-feedback. I need to do a bit more testing tomorrow, but it seems pretty good so far for basic stall protection.

too late, but there is an undocumented "include" command for comp files that puts the #include statement close to the top of the generated C file, which can help.

Well this is what my friend came up with, no issues with it compiling now. Any thoughts on adding a time pin prior to it hitting the level that can set the underspeed pin? I had to throw "not" in there to invert the output, my current hal additions:
loadrt lowpass names=lowpass.monitor
loadrt spindle_monitor
loadrt not
addf lowpass.monitor servo-thread
addf spindle-monitor.0 servo-thread
addf not.0 servo-thread
net spindle-at-speed => motion.spindle-at-speed
net spindle-vel-fb-rps-fltr <= lowpass.monitor.out
net spindle-vel-cmd-rps-abs <= motion.spindle-speed-out-rps-abs
net spindle-enable <= motion.spindle-on
net spindle-fault-stop-inv => motion.enable
# ---Setup spindle monitor for motor protection---
net spindle-at-speed <= spindle-monitor.0.spindle-at-speed
net spindle-vel-fb-rps-fltr => spindle-monitor.0.spindle-feedback
net spindle-vel-cmd-rps-abs => spindle-monitor.0.spindle-command
net spindle-enable => spindle-monitor.0.spindle-is-on
net spindle-fault-stop not.0.in <= spindle-monitor.0.spindle-underspeed
net spindle-fault-stop-inv <= not.0.out
#detect rpm drop#
setp spindle-monitor.0.threshold 7
setp lowpass.monitor.gain .005

Even without the extra frills this is a pretty handy component, I'm kinda surprised there isn't anything like it (that I know of) in source.
What would it take to get this included?

Create a "pull request" on GitHub.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html
Though simply adding a new file (rather than patching original files) can be done, I think, directly.

Created a pull request. I'm not all that familiar with adding to Git but I think it's right, not sure if I'm supposed to write a full description like what's in the docs or not. Credit to you of course.
