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

Can you please explain as I do not understand meta..... wires.

All encoders are connected as I can see it correctly what else can I do?

G33.1 still not working

net spindle-cmd-rpm motion.spindle-speed-out-abs => hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout

setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-maxlim 2500


Above as per your request, will go down and check Is motion.spindle-revs increasing as the spindle rotates colockwise?

NO it is not

Is this crude way of testing OK?

edit all instances of encoder.04 to encoder.03 and move encoder connector to 7i85 last encoder connector + W8,W10,W12?

Starting to be a bit desperate as I do not get spindle working, something is bogging down spindle encoder index input but what.

How close must spindle rpm's be running G33.1?

M3 S120 = actual 106

I take it by that, you have got it working. Time to celebrate with a beer or whatever is your favourite drink!
Sorting out any scaling issues should surely be easy!

Tried to verify that sets encoder-index enable True goes False when turning spindle.
It does this but very randomly so pin 13 on 7i76e encoder Index input is acting weird.

Board was tested as per Peters advice and was working OK on the lab bench. With and without encoder in question.

Any ideas what to test?

Oh no = No Cigar yet

To see signals in real time, read up on halscope, Linuxcnc's own software Oscilloscope. Very powerful, I only just started to use it.
