OK! I have most of my test panel working. I decided to use the jog buttons on the panel anyway since I already had it wired. I had to figure out how to use or2. The exercise was good for my understanding of HAL.
Im starting to see how things fit. I had to separate the code for my tiny brain to handle.
I do have a issue now that Im not sure where to look to fix it. Below is the section of my HAL with overrides. Im using a cheap Chinese VFD with their MODBUS. The spindle override is where Im having issues.
At 5% override I am at 30 hz on my spindle, the lowest allowed setting in my parameters in the VFD.
at 19% override I am at 65 hz the highest setting allowed by my parameters in the VFD.
The scale of my override in halui continues from 19% to 100% with the pot adjustment as expected, however this has no effect otherwise. I have tried to change scale and other factors and still nothing has changed this behavior.
csbrady was kind enough to give me his hal which this is part of. He is using analog voltage to his VFD for control. I do not know if this matters. My spindle scale is up to 100% max in the INI.
Any ideas?

EDIT: Figured it out. My spindle is being commanded to go to 10K rpms. Looks like I have some reading to do.
