Have you connected motion.spindle-index-enable and motion.spindle-revs to the encoder output in the HAL file?

I am new to this, how do I check the A and index? If I do need to invert it, where do I change that parameter. I am not in front of the machine to play around. Thanks for your help.

In the HAL file, or possibly the INI file (both live in the emc2/configs directory, in the folder with the name of your machine)

I have attached the portion of my hal file that deals with spindle. I am not seeing anything with a " near scaling" statement. Does anything stand out to anybody? Thanks for the help.

I am confused by the lack of "loadrt hostmot2" and "loadrt hm2_pci..." but I assume they are in a separate HAL file?
Also, there is no need to addf the 5i20 read_gpio and write_gpio threads, in fact you shouldn't do that unless you have a fast thread and need to write them in that. (your current HAL file is writing the GPIO twice, as the plain ...read and ..write also read/write the GPIO)

You don't have anything connected, in that HAL file, to motion.spindle-at-speed, so AFAIK threading etc should just happen.
