Help needed to get my 7i76E + 7i85S + 7i73 on my mill going.

Question
Is spindle encoder always 0? Can it be last and if so how is this done?

Any encoder can be used with any axis. I think that the resolvers on my lathe are 5 for X, 6 for Z and 2 for spindle, something like that.

That's the great thing about HAL, any signal can go anywhere.

OK, but still looking for the book *HAL for Dummies* ;)

from HAL
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.scale 1000
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.01.scale 1000
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.02.scale 2000

Assuming this is for the X/Y/Z, where do this be connected to the axis in question
7i85S 1st 2nd 3rd encoder inputs

Want to have spindle encoder on 4th encoder input, what syntax in hal for this.
Now 360ppr encoder so the INI will have to be ENCODER_SCALE = 1440

Definitely not needed, just measure your progress by the blood on your workshop floor.

I'm feeling very despondent here today. Wish I just had to sort out how to make a spindle work instead of a plasma torch!

So trying to wrap my head around this here is what I have got so far, correct?
Changes in HAL

setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.scale [AXIS_0] ENCODER_SCALE
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.01.scale [AXIS_1] ENCODER_SCALE
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.02.scale [AXIS_2] ENCODER_SCALE
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.04.scale [SPINDLE_9] ENCODER_SCALE

Adding following to INI
in AXIS_0
ENCODER_SCALE = 1000

in AXIS_1
ENCODER_SCALE = 1000

in AXIS_2
ENCODER_SCALE = 2000

in SPINDLE_9
ENCODER_SCALE = 1440 ( 360ppr encoder )

I assume that you have seen:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/hal/intro.html
and
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/hal/basic-hal.html
and that these do not meet your requirements?


from HAL
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.scale 1000
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.01.scale 1000
setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.02.scale 2000

Assuming this is for the X/Y/Z, where do this be connected to the axis in question



net some-signal-name axis.N.motor-position-fb hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.MM.position
Choose the N and MM any way that you fancy.
If you are using a PID component for each axis (this is optional, but pncconf currently sets things up that way) then you also need
net some-signal-name pid.X.feedback
(That is the same "some-signal-name" as the above, and you can combine them all on one line, or split over 3 lines, as you prefer)


Want to have spindle encoder on 4th encoder input, what syntax in hal for this.



net spindle-pos hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.04.position motion.spindle-revs
net spindle-vel hm2_7i76.0.encoder.04.velocity motion,spindle-vel

All the motion pins are listed here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/motion.9.html
And the pid pins at:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/pid.9.html

Are you writing the HAL from scratch or using PnCConf?

PnCConf just messes up everything as it changes everything, so yes I will have to add/change step by step.

Are you starting from scratch, or with the existing PnCConf setup? I would recommend the latter course.
