Orient Spindle question

hello to all

I am trying to configure spindle orientation with the orient component. I am using LCNC 2.8 and make everything by manual for orient component. I need to now how can start orientation. When i put M19 in MDI nothing happened. My spindle have quadrature encoder 2500ppr and is running fine on spindle M3 SXX command. I enable orientation in hal and put orientation offset in ini file. now in manual it say that M19 should asserted spindle.N.orient in my case spindle.0.orient  . This pin doesn't go high state when i hit M19. 

Can someone pointed me what am i doing wrong and how can i start M19 process. 

This is hal config i put in hal

loadrt orient names=orient
loadrt pid names=orient-pid
net orient-angle spindle.0.orient-angle orient.angle
net orient-mode spindle.0.orient-mode orient.mode
net orient-enable spindle.0.orient orient.enable orient-pid.enable
net spindle-in-pos orient.is-oriented spindle.0.is-oriented
net spindle-pos encoder.position orient.position orient-pid.feedback
net orient-command orient.command orient-pid.command

Any help and guide is much welcome 

i see one unusual thing that orient position did not update with spindle position. Should i make this connection between them and if i should how can i make this line in hal.

Here is a Spindle orient example config from Talla83.

I have been using this as my base config a few times now.

The spindle in running in speed mode during normal M3 / M4 etc and PID control with M19.

Some of the comments are in German but it might give you an idea of what needs to be connected.

Thanks Markus for the help, i am learning now to work with orientation and keep you posted what have been done.

I am also working on my spindle orientation and found out a simple m19 doesn't work. It worked fine with a full M19 R0 Q10 P0

I was unable to sets or setup any of those values in hal so that I could make a simple M19 work. Hope this helps.

I tryed this hal example but it is not for me because is Step and Dir. I have PWM. Now i found on other with pwm generators. But it gives me alarm when i start LCNC that hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.05.output pin not found. Now i think because this hal is old and i am working on 2.8 LCNC there have been changes with PWM and Analog output. My first problem is to change : setp hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.05.output-type 1       to mach with 2.8
Can somebody help me how to edit this hal file so i can use with my 5i25 card and LCNC 2.8 with Buster.

This is part of the hal that need to change for my machine with LCNC 2.8 and 5i25 with 7i77 card

Hello,

can you attach your working HAL prior to the spindle orient changes? Your basic HAL where you have M3 / M4 working.

Thank you a lot Markus for trying to help me.
 Here is my working hal file created with pncconf and linuxcnc 2.8
Thanks a lot again!

I will try to take a look over the weekend.

Thank you Markus for your help. I am lost with this ..
