- Motors should be attached to the machine as you need to know how much the machine moves for every revolution of the motors,
- Replace the spindle stuff in your config with the spindle stuff from the Talla's hal and ini files,
- That can not be done just by copy all/ paste all, there is to many things that will cause errors, so it has to be done in by comparing what is already in your ini and hal and adding only what is needed,
- Basically you will need a fully working machine before you do the copy/paste stuff, meaning even the spindle has to be fully working.
Do you have a spindle that has orient sensor ?

Thank you for reply.
I did everything you just wrote a few days ago.
Did you saw my pics on first page, or on instagram?
For now I have noticed 2 issues.
1) output scale looks like a step scale, but he talking about encoder scale / 60 to get pps (pulse per second = Hz) for encoder
2) when I replace spindle section and correct everything the Spindle speed in pyvcp panel not shows anything to check the RPM.
Here is my mod. files

I'm trying this too right now with the Mesa 7i76e DIR/STEP for Spindle. Now i have a Debug Error: spindle-pid.do-pid-calcs not found.

I have a controller with step/dir direction and Encoder RJ45E
I wanted to connect to TB 3 Stepper 4 or so.
