You have to "sets" the signal _after_ it is created. (assuming that it is created)

It won't exist until the "net spindle-index-enable...." line in one of the HAL files.

Hmm..

I have the following in my hal file.

net spindle-index-enable <=> hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.encoder.05.index-enable
net spindle-index-enable <=> spindle.0.index-enable
sets spindle-index-enable 1

Figured that is what I needed to do and it shows up in the halshow and able to force it high in halshow as stated earlier.

I have to comment out sets spindle-index-enable 1 to get LCNC to launch without getting an error of spindle-index-enable not found.

I will try to rearrange the position of the items in hal to see if that helps.

That should work.

One possible issue is that we have had trouble with the docs build inserting dashes "–" in the docs rather than hyphens "-", so perhaps if you copy-pasted that would cause the problem.
Otherwise, I am puzzled.

Can you see the index in halmeter going true/false every rotation? How are you trying to get orientation working? The signal you are using should just be flipping themselves back and forth. I think something else is causing the random positions.

The index pulse is often too short to see in Halmeter. I wouldn't read too much into not seeing it.

If you "sets" the index-enable true, however, you should see that reset (once) at the same point in the spindle rotation every time.

I have se questions about your paint choice.
1 Have you used this before?
2 How does it hold up to coolant?
3 Did you use the recommended hardner?
4 Did you go down to bare metal?
5 If not what prep did you do?
6 Cost of the paint and amount used

Thank you
