(Inverting PWM pin)
It should. How did you do it?
Yeah, I tried that. I doesn’t do what is needed.

I don’t know if my last reply went through so this may be a duplicate...
I used pncconf on the mesa board setup page to set the Spindle Output Inv checkbox. Tried with it checked and unchecked. Tested by using MDI in axis and using M3 and various Sxxx settings. Larger numbers = slower speed.

Here is the HAL file with the Inv checkbox selected

To invert your spindlespeed set
loadrt scale
addf scale.0 servo-thread
setp scale.0.gain -1
setp scale.0.offset 6000
net spindle-output => scale.0.in
net spindle-speed-DAC scale.0.out => [HMOT](CARD0).7i76.0.0.spinoutPlease Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

That seems to setwhich would reverse the spindle direction.
What you need is to invert the sense of the PWM pin.
Something like
But you need to work out which GPIO pin the PWM is on for this to work.

Chris,
i entered this in my custom hal file and linuxcnc will not start. Get the attached errors report. looks like I am trying to overwrite signals that have already been setup by PNCCONF. I tried handbombing the file created by PNCCONF and couldn't make it work. any suggestions?

I am controlling my spindle drive with an analog output (which generates pwm to the motor). Looking through the hal meter pins/signals I can’t locate anything that looks like an invert_output for the analog output. Do you know what this would be called?

This (modification of your hal file) should be close:
