Spindle encoder configuration (with G76 threading command and Mesa 7i96s)

I made a new configuration using pncconf and compared the spindle & encoder 0 section.

I don't see anything that's different, other than naming conventions (see attached)

I have a quadrature spindle encoder connected encoder (0) input. A & B

I now also have a 1PPR signal, connected to the encoder.0. index pin.

In Halshow
- spindle.0.revs counts up as expected when the spindle is rotated forward
- spindle.0.speed-in appears correct
- spindle.0.index-enable shows disabled

In my SM-10.hal file I have:
net spindle-index-enable <=> spindle.0.index-enable

IF I comment out this line, I can then enable spindle.0.index-enable manually in Halshow, that makes no difference when trying to open the file below (same error)

Regardless when I try to open the following 2 line G76 program I get the following error: "Chosen spindle(0) not turning in G76"

Program:
G0 X0.45
G76 P0.0625 Z-0.5 I -0.005 J 0.008 K 0.0503

What does the error message actually mean and/or what is Linux missing that it needs?

It has the quadrature encoder signals and it has the index pulse, that I can see toggle as the magnet passes the sensor once per rev,

The revs counter is counting up 1 per rev.

is spindle.0.at-speed  true?


Also does the index work?

Test by (either in halshow or with halcmd -kf)

sets spindle-index-enable true

watch  spindle-index-enable in halshow

it should go high with the sets command and then low when you rotate
the spindle past the index position.
