Mesa 7i96 with SPINX1 to control spindle speed

This is the first errorhm2:
loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15./spintestnew.hal:17: unterminated quoted stringShutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...hm2/hm2_7i96.0: registered./spintestnew.

hal:72: Ini variable '[SPINDLE]MAX_OUTPUT' not found.Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...I think this is due to the MAX_OUTPUT being able to be blank. That is not really an issue with the program I think, but mine.

The setp is due to an extra setp created in the hal file

I also get this:Found file(REL): ./io.hal./io.hal:4: Pin 'spindle.0.on' was already linked to signal 'spindle-enable'Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...that is fixed by commenting out the line in the io.hal file

Configuration seems better, but still not 100%

As I saved it:
 
 
When it loads in:


The quote issue is fixed

still seeing the setp duplicate here(I addressed it manually in the attached hal file):
setp pid.1.error-previous-target true
setp setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency [SPINDLE]PWM_FREQUENCY
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.scale [SPINDLE]SCALE

I think the issue may be in the pins, I am not sure, but I see the value of hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.enable change as it is supposed to, but the hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.value is always at 0. Other pins show speed increase, etc, but this one stays at 0.
 

I tried to help myself a little, but everything I looked at is more to parallel cards or something totally different. I appreciate your help, I think it is pretty close. Just let me know when you need me to test something, I'll be around.

   

 

I am not sure how you programmed the write. I am thinking the parameter I need is not getting written out.

I reloaded and now the config info pulls in like it should.

When I was looking about it last night, I think the missing piece is a tie in between
hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.value and pid.1.output, I am not sure where that pid.1.output is getting set. I am wondering if that is the setp with no content.

setp pid.1.Igain [SPINDLE]I
setp pid.1.Dgain [SPINDLE]D
setp pid.1.bias [SPINDLE]BIAS
setp pid.1.FF0 [SPINDLE]FF0
setp pid.1.FF1 [SPINDLE]FF1
setp pid.1.FF2 [SPINDLE]FF2
setp pid.1.deadband [SPINDLE]DEADBAND
setp pid.1.maxoutput [SPINDLE]MAX_OUTPUT
setp pid.1.error-previous-target true
#setp
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency [SPINDLE]PWM_FREQUENCY
setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.scale [SPINDLE]SCALE
net spindle-index-enable <=> pid.1.index-enable
net spindle-enable pid.1.enable
net spindle-vel-cmd-rpm => pid.1.command
net spindle-vel-fb-rpm => pid.1.feedback
net spindle-output <= pid.1.output
net spindle-output => hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.00.value

Ok, Linux cnc is loaded, but it is idle when I ran this.
