Ok this is driving me crazy...

Ive tried less I and no luck. I have the error under. 0002 everywhere in halscope and I get a following error with anything less than min ferror of .002 and ferror of .009. Its almost as if there is a scale of 10 somewhere that is being missed.

Any ideas?

Which pins are you halscoping? Perhaps there really is a scale?

That should be scaled the same as the encoder position, and that is normally scaled to exact axis position.

If you halscope (or halmeter) axis.0.motor-pos-cmd then move the X axis by 1 unit, does the pin change by the same amount?

If so, then everything is scaled the same.

I would be tempted to try the 10x f-error and see how a test part works out.

If things are OK at 4.5 IPS but fail at 5 IPS is it possible you are running out of velocity headroom?
What are your PID max output and PWM scale numbers? (They should be the same)
what is you maximum rapid speed at 10V?

The scales were different but it just changed the PID values and I still have the same issue.

Rapid at 10V was adjusted in halscope to 7.917 (475 ipm)

I've moved on to the control panel and discovered that using the servo thread of the 7i64 for the mpg is not acceptable. I guess ill have to run the wire back to the 7i48.

Speaking of threads does a base thread need to be defined for encoders when using the mesa components?

Is the pid limit the same as pwm scale? If no, you will not be able to each the full speed

The servo thread at 1 kHz is probably too slow to capture data from anything but a low resolution encoder, which is why the 7I64 fails. If the maximum MPG speed is close to ok, you might consider
Running the servo thread faster (say 2 or 3 KHz)

A base thread is not needed with the mesa encoders

Yes I set both scales to 10.

Ill experiment with a faster thread and see what happens

Machine seems to be running well.

I have a couple questions/suggestions

1. Is there a way to turn the flood coolant on/off while a program is running using the external inputs?
2. Is it possible to setup a tool touchoff button that records the current g59 z position as the z offset for the current tool in the spindle? Kind of like the current axis touchoffs.

Thank
Cory

Glad to hear it.

1. Is there a way to turn the flood coolant on/off while a program is running using the external inputs?

Yes, but you first need to decide what behaviour you want. Consider the 4 combinations of the G-code command and the external button, and decide which behaviour you want in all cases. (Actually, you might something even more complicated, where a change of state in the G-code is always followed, but a press on a momentary button toggles the state). You can then build up a structure of AND, OR, NOT, latch, edge-detect etc logic blocks in HAL to sit between the motion.coolant-flood EMC2 output and the pin which controls the physical relay.
First decide what you want, and then we can try to figure out how to do it.

2. Is it possible to setup a tool touchoff button that records the current g59 z position as the z offset for the current tool in the spindle? Kind of like the current axis touchoffs.

If you look at the bottom of the drop-down in the touch-off dialog, after the coordinate systems there is a "T" which means that the calcualted offset goes in the tool table. Is that what you want, or do you want something else?
You could create a PyVCP or GladeVCP button to call an MDI_COMMAND. I think you would want something like G10 L1 Z[#5383 - #5422]
