Did this one come through? I think its when I try and open it in windows that it does not look right. Because of the editor I believe

in the hal file you have a broken wire....

net s-vel-fb <= hm2_5i23.0.resolver.00.velocity
is there but s-vel-fb connects nowhere else
(that the only place its in the file)

the net statement make a wire labeled s-vel-fb in this case
but this wire needs to connect to some Axis or PYVCP display device

Ok.....I tried to connect that and the spindle RPM on the pyvcp side and it did error out. S32 float error, is that why I need the filter?

Why won't it show up in the velocity window of Axis?

because its not connected

I dont mean to be short, just dont know the Axis
pin that drives the RPM display off hand

Sorry, I am a difficult student....I know.

Where do I look for it? The name of the Axis pin is exactly what I have been looking for. I started with PNCconf and started modifying so I probably just missed a whole bunch of steps that I now need. The Axis file is probably in root somewhere?

Sorry to try you guys so much I have really been worried about wearing out my welcome here.

attached are the additional files needed to show the spindle screen
see the readme for the additional line needed to be added to the display section
