spindle speed not working

could someone confirm that the spindle speed bar is working fine in 2.5 and git master perhaps ?

i have a value shown in spindle-fb-filtered-abs-rpm , but pyvcp.spindle-speed display shows nothing

so i'm trying to hunt down the culprit

( using default from pncconf )

Not sure how old your 2.5 is. can you post your config files?
I just built a config and see nothing obvious.
I will have to check with hardware later in week.

Chris M

version i have chris is 2.5.0-pre1-616
also appears to be the same using 2.6 also

hal file produced from pncconf , with no changes
for example the values i have are :

spindle-fb-filtered-abs-rpm 1.186e-321
spindle-fb-filtered-abs-rps 2e-323

i'll post the approprate files in a few mins

and the custom postgui file

Hi

I can't see why your hal files don't work and don't think it is a EMC version problem.

Underneath the layers of complication from using a Mesa board, the spindle rpm seems to be derived almost exactly the same way as the below code from my setup (except I have no lowpass filter)
I have used this from version 2.3 through to 2.6

net spindle-position encoder.0.position-interpolated => motion.spindle-revs
net spindle-velocity encoder.0.velocity => motion.spindle-speed-in
net spindle-index-enable encoder.0.index-enable <=> motion.spindle-index-enable

net spindle-index parport.0.pin-11-in-not => encoder.0.phase-Z
net spindle-pulse parport.1.pin-10-in => encoder.0.phase-A

setp scale.1.gain 60.0 #convert velocity per sec into rpm
net spindle-velocity => abs.1.in
net absolute-spindle-velocity <= abs.1.out => scale.1.in
net scaled-spindle-velocity <= scale.1.out => pyvcp.spindle-speed

Have you gone right back to the start and looked at what value hm2_7i43.0.encoder.00.velocity is producing?
Does it look like a valid rps value for the speed you are running at?
The hole in my knowledge is where the Mesa board gets its signal from, I just use a simple hall effect indexing switch fed into encoder.0.phase-Z

regards

input is from 2 optos one gives a single pulse per rev attached to the index pin and the other opto to 100 count per rev attached to the quadrature A pin ,

handled just about the same way as any pin , but i could change it to a general io pin quite easily

thanks Andy setting counter mode to 1 , got me in the ball park

I'll add that to the docs as that may be a common problem.
Ultimately it should be choose-able on the Mesa page.
