Another 7i76 Spindle Setup Question

Andy,

Thanks very much for your time.

This and other attempts generally result in an error on startup, the summary of which is - Pin 'motion.spindle-speed-out-abs' does not exist. Using HALSHOW - Pins, motion.spindle-speed-out is listed, but motion.spindle-speed-out-abs is not.

Please note that I am using version 2.5.5 of Linuxcnc, and a trawl of the forum indicates that one or two other people have had a similar problem, which was ( as best as I can tell), resolved when they upgraded to 2.7.

I assume that there is no easy way to 'slip' another pin into the program, so I may try loading the current version of Linuxcnc on another machine and give it a whirl.

Cheers, Steve

Yeah the absolute spindle speed pin was added somewhere around LinuxCNC 2.6 AFAIKR

Thanks guys,

I did a fresh install of version 2.7 of linuxcnc, and then updated it to version 2.7.12. A few laps through PNCConf, and the spindle control was behaving beautifully.

Thanks very much for all the assistance,

Steve
