Remora - Rpi Software Stepping Using External Microcontroller via SPI

well, maybe you dont need to use the preassigned index, you will find out i guess

i dont think you are connecting your spindle pins correctly thought. its waiting for the index enable probably
compare to this one

[code]# Spindle QEI encoder

setp encoder.0.position-scale 800.000000
net encoder-count <= remora.PV.0 => encoder.0.raw_count
net encoder-phaseZ <= remora.input.6 => encoder.0.phase-Z
# setp encoder.0.index-enable true

Awesome, yeah my hal was a mess. I ended up just grabbing that example and tweaking what I need to to have things make sense for my machine and I'm happy to say, everything is working now. Exactly how it should, and we have threads! Thanks again!
