Thanks PCW - it looks like you are correct.

I ran halcmd and halcmd show pin | grep -e spindle -e speed -e rpm

the results are below. I'm pretty sure it is the bottom two lines for the rpm display. When I looked in the HAL files I couldn't find a reference to them. Do I need to add them to HAL file somehow? I haven't gotten to editing ini and hal files yet. I have just been using the files generated by pncconf wizard.

cnclathe@CNCLathe:~$ halcmd show pin | grep -e spindle -e speed -e rpm
36 float IN 0 abs.spindle.in <== spindle-fb-rpm
36 bit OUT FALSE abs.spindle.is-negative
36 bit OUT FALSE abs.spindle.is-positive
36 float OUT 0 abs.spindle.out ==> spindle-fb-rpm-abs
36 bit OUT FALSE abs.spindle.sign
36 s32 OUT 228 abs.spindle.time
59 bit IN FALSE gmoccapy.spc_spindle.decrease
59 bit IN FALSE gmoccapy.spc_spindle.increase
59 float IN 60 gmoccapy.spc_spindle.scale
59 float OUT 1.666667 gmoccapy.spc_spindle.scaled-value
59 float OUT 100 gmoccapy.spc_spindle.value
59 bit IN FALSE gmoccapy.spindle.reset-spindle-override
59 bit IN FALSE gmoccapy.spindle.spindle-override.analog-enable
59 bit IN FALSE gmoccapy.spindle.spindle-override.count-enable
59 s32 IN 0 gmoccapy.spindle.spindle-override.counts
59 float IN 0 gmoccapy.spindle.spindle-override.direct-value
59 bit IN FALSE gmoccapy.spindle_at_speed_led
59 float IN 0 gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar

I found the file below - do I need to add it to a hal file to get gmoccapy to work correctly as I'm guessing the pncconf wizard misses a few bits?

It looks like the spindle speed data path starts here:

36 float IN 0 abs.spindle.in <== spindle-fb-rpm

So the first question is does the signal "spindle-fb-rpm" connect to the 7I96 encoder
velocity pin?

halcmd show signal spindle-fb-rpm

would answer this question

This is the result. tbh I'm not sure exactly what I am looking at. I will be reading up on hal basics tonight I think. I knew I'd hit this wall eventually.

cnclathe@CNCLathe:~$ halcmd show signal spindle-fb-rpm
Signals:
Type Value Name (linked to)
float 0 spindle-fb-rpm
==> abs.spindle.in
<== scale.spindle.out
float 0 spindle-fb-rpm-abs
<== abs.spindle.out
==> lowpass.spindle.in
float 0 spindle-fb-rpm-abs-filtered
<== lowpass.spindle.out
==> pyvcp.spindle-speed

This should be a better format

cnclathe@CNCLathe:~$ halcmd show signal spindle-fb-rpm
Signals:
Type Value Name (linked to)
float 0 spindle-fb-rpm
==> abs.spindle.in
<== scale.spindle.out
float 0 spindle-fb-rpm-abs
<== abs.spindle.out
==> lowpass.spindle.in
float 0 spindle-fb-rpm-abs-filtered
<== lowpass.spindle.out
==> pyvcp.spindle-speed

Need to trace the pin "scale.spindle.in" connections now

halshow show pin scale.spindle.in

Thanks PCW - appreciate your patience. Doesn't look like that cmd worked?


cnclathe@CNCLathe:~$ halshow show pin scale.spindle.in

Cannot read file <show>

Usage:
halshow [Options] [watchfile]
Options:
--help (this help)
--fformat format_string_for_float
--iformat format_string_for_int

Notes:
Create watchfile in halshow using: 'File/Save Watch List'
linuxcnc must be running for standalone usage

No worries at all.
