Mesa 7I44-7I70/7I71

I need guidance on Resolvers again. I am finally back at it and determined to get this going. I have a 5i23 with a 7i49 daughter. I hooked up the spindle resolver sine, cosine and drv. I can watch things happen on the hal show/watch page so I believe I have it hooked up right. It does not report to the EMC screen though. I think its my hal.file

Net Spindle Revs <=hm2.5i23.0.resolver.00.position

Maybe it should be counts? RawCounts?

that should work
if you halmeter hm2.5i23.0.resolver.00.position, does it count up by one every spindle turn?

I tried it this morning. Yes if I watch the position it does count by one every revolution and no it does not report to axis. I should note that I am only turning the spindle by hand and it is not under power. Any Ideas as to why It is not showing on Axis?

see if theirs any bones you can pick out of this that may help

# ---Resolver feedback signals/setup---

setp hm2_7i43.0.resolver.02.velocity-scale 1 # mptor speed in RPS
setp hm2_7i43.0.resolver.02.scale [AXIS_2]ENCODER_SCALE

net z-pos-rawcounts <= hm2_7i43.0.resolver.02.rawcounts
net z-pos-fb <= hm2_7i43.0.resolver.02.position = > pid.2..feedback
net z-vel-fb <= hm2_7i43.0.resolver.02.velocity
net z-pos-fb => axis.2.motor-pos-fb
net z-index-enable axis.2.index-enable <=> hm2_7i43.0.resolver.02.index-enable

I just hooked up the z axis resolver. The same thing, I can see it on the hal watch screen but it is not reporting to Axis. Again I am just turning by hand and the drives are not energized.

do you have lines like these in your hal file?
(the bottom line is what feeds the position info back to Axis)

net z-pos-fb <= hm2_5i23.0.resolver.02.position = > pid.2..feedback
net z-pos-fb => axis.2.motor-pos-fb

(cribbed from cncbashers post)

My Z Feed back is written like this

net motor.02.pos-fb <= hm2_5i23.0.resolver.02.pos
net z-pos-fb => axis.2.motor-pos-fb

I'm sorry this is it

net motor.02.pos-fb <= hm2_5i23.0.resolver.02.position
net z-pos-fb => axis.2.motor-pos-fb

well that wont work as you dont have a path from
hm2_5i23.0.resolver.02.position to axis.2.motor-pos-fb

what drives net z-pos-fb?
