Mesa 7I44-7I70/7I71

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?

I wish I knew....LOL

Sorry,I am reading the manuals, hoping I see it.

can you post your hal file in full , and i'll take a look

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

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

should work but without seeing your hal file , i dont know your pin or signal names

you need to configure the resolver to a signalname and then forward the signal name to the motor
looking at the above should give you a spark of enlightenment

This is it......I probably new more about it when I was actually trying to get it just to boot.

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

& change z approprate to the axis x y or z etc and the resolver number 00 , 01 or 02

Exactly what line connects it to the axis readout? I was wondering if the name of my axis screen has anything to do with this not working.

axis-lathe.ngc is my axis file. Could this be the problem?

Thank you for the help I now have the Z reporting to the axis screen. Now Could you please give me some guidance on the spindle.

try the above mods

One minor nit, pwm output type must be 2 for 7I48 and 7I49

This is the custom_postgui.hal that I am invoking

net spindle-rpm-filtered => pyvcp.spindle-speed
net spindle-at-speed => pyvcp.spindle-at-speed

I have made the suggested changes that you showed me and it still will not report to the axis Lathe screen. I think it may be in the above script that I have to make the changes. Am I getting close?

This is the current sinndle resolver section

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

With your help I did get the x and z axis to report to axis....Thanks for looking and helping
