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

No keep it as it is, as least for now.

I think the speeds and required gears are not reflecting your gearbox.
You need to double check that.In the reqd_gear array you need to enter the number that correspond to the gear lever settings.
How that number is calculated you can see in the line "actual = (gear_high * 0x40 and so on"
For the first gear you need low_speed and motor_low and gear_E engaged. That gives 0x01 (gear_E * 0x01).
For the second gear, which obviously is wrong then, but just assume you need gear_high, motor low and gear_D. That gives the number 0x42 (gear_high * 0x40 + gear_D * 0x02). That should go in as third number in reqd_gear instead of 0x21. BUt you must use the actual gear lever settings for the second gear, not this made up example.

You need to go through your gearbox for all the gears and make sure you have the right numbers entered,

I see the problem with 0-80rpm that does not exist as gear1 is 80-125.

That is not the problem now. First gear worked, so the logic works.

But I can see that Andy put in for the second gear 125-160 0x21.
That means motor_high and gear_E. Is that correct?
I understand it was another combination for the 125-160 gear, or?

Leave the 0-80 for now.

Regarding the delay, perhaps you should build some logic with buttons using the motor_enable signal?

My table is correct, will have to verify tomorrow as I just now only have my small laptop at hand.

Yes you are right, the table looks ok, although I just checked the two first gears
The message you get, can that be that the message is "off by one" gear?
If so you can change the numbering either in hal or in the comp, but maybe try in the hal file?

Always better with another pair of eyes, suspected 1step off.

Will dive into this tomorrow, thanks for the help Håkan always appreciated.

Assuming you are following the election as everybody else in Sweden.

Can you see anything why High-Gear is not working = nothing to VFD.
Maybe the comp is needed to be changed and not hal.

OK, I think I have found the error

actual = (gear_high * 0x40 + motor_high * 0x20

these two are flipped and should be motor_high * 0x40 + gear_high * 0x20

Look in table here forum.linuxcnc.org/39-pncconf/33069-help...ing?start=590#116905

Edited comp file

int speeds[15] = {0, 125, 160,

Deleted 80 so now first gear goes from 0 to 125 (I can live with that )

All gears work up to 1000rpm (not running at correct speeds that I have to tune) with gear settings.

But all gears over 1000rpm involve motor to be set at high speed does not work.

It looks like this with not correct spindle rpm. S160 shows up in gmoccapy as 158 and in reality 74.2rpm
