v2.8.0 - Pin 'motion.spindle-forward' does not exist

v2.8.0 - Pin 'motion.spindle-forward' does not exist was created by deemoss

Hi guys,

I am trying to control the spindle with rs485 according to these instructions buildyourcnc.com/FAQ/13271.

However, as I run LinuxCNC I get the error "./custom.hal:10: Pin 'motion.spindle-forward' does not exist". Also, when I execute the halcmd in terminal I get the same error.

Why is this?

I am using 2.8.0 pre 1

The error log is attached.

Thanks!

Thanks racedirector,

I tried the below with no luck. Also should't I see a "spindle" component in the halshow (see screenshot)?

net spindle-cw spindle.0.forward => vfd.spindle-forward
> Pin 'spindle.0.forward' does not exist

and
net spindle-cw halui.spindle.0.forward => vfd.spindle-forward
> Pin 'halui.spindle.0.forward' does not exist

Thanks!

I would say because you were still using "motion." "spindle.0.xxx" doesn't use "motion." first.

<stdin>:3: Pin 'motion.spindle.0.forward' does not exist

if you took the "motion." part off this command it would probably work
