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
halcmd: show pin *spindle-monitor*
Component Pins:
Owner   Type  Dir         Value  Name
    17  bit   OUT         FALSE  spindle-monitor.0.spindle-at-speed
    17  float IN              0  spindle-monitor.0.spindle-command
    17  float IN              0  spindle-monitor.0.spindle-feedback
    17  bit   IN          FALSE  spindle-monitor.0.spindle-is-on
    17  bit   OUT         FALSE  spindle-monitor.0.spindle-underspeed
    17  s32   OUT             0  spindle-monitor.0.time

parameters
halcmd: show param *spindle-monitor*
Parameters:
Owner   Type  Dir         Value  Name
    17  u32   RW     0x00000000  spindle-monitor.0.level
    17  float RW              0  spindle-monitor.0.threshold
    17  s32   RW              0  spindle-monitor.0.tmax
    17  bit   RO          FALSE  spindle-monitor.0.tmax-increased

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)
loadrt spindle_monitor
loadrt estop_latch

addf spindle-monitor.0      servo thread
addf estop_latch.0          servo thread

net spindle-at-speed      spindle-monitor.0.spindle-at-speed  #(=>  motion.spindle-at-speed)
net spindle-vel-fb-rps    spindle-monitor.0.spindle-feedback  #(<=  hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.velocity)
net spindle-vel-cmd-rps   spindle-monitor.0.spindle-command     #(<=  motion.spindle-speed-out-rps)
net spindle-enable          spindle-monitor.0.spindle-is-on        #(<=  motion.spindle-on)
net E-stop-trigger          spindle-monitor.0.spindle-underspeed  => estop-latch.0.fault-in

setp spindle-monitor.0.threshold 24000 #(400rpm drop))

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.
