Re:pncconf - feature requests

Thanks guys!
I pushed the timing fix to 2.5 so it will wok its way to master.

Hello Chris,

I know you do a lot of work on the pncconf, I was just wondering if there was any work being done on adding the 7i80 to the configurator, or is still too unstable to add to the mainstream of things.


Thanks


Rick

It won't be added to 2.6 series.
I will see about 2.7 though.

Too late for you I suppose

No problem on my end,

I honestly haven't used this utility on a single build yet, they are always off the wall, out in left field builds. But I do have 3 more retrofits lined up now, so I still have a lot of work to do ahead.


Thanks

Rick

Well if you do sometime, let me know how it went.
I rely on bug reports as I really can't test enough

I have pushed some pncconf work into master, that covers the basic connections for the gs2 vfd.
The HAL file is based on the snippet from the manual.
One thing that is not clear to me is how to scale the command speed from motor RPM to spindle RPM
without using a scale component, do people just adjust the nameplate RPM setting?

There is also work for using a two speed gearbox for an analog controlled spindle.
Using a Gcode to select the range is not covered yet.

If anyone could build a pncconf config to confirm the GS2 VFD HAL file is correct , that would be great.

if anyone could build a config using the two range spindle and let me know if the 'calculate scale' button
helps to figure out how to set everything that would be great too.

any other bugs / comments / testing / patches is always welcome.
