Hello,
Please excuse my crashing into this thread. I've found it very useful so far and managed to set up 6 out of 7 parts of my 30-year-old Gravograph Unica that I'm trying to convert to LinuxCNC running on a Raspberry Pi with a Mesa 7C80.
What's working fine so far are the 3 steppers and corresponding home switches X, Y & Z.
But: The spindle won't turn on.
I'd like to control it via PWM and as far as I can tell there should be PWM output on pin 2 of TB5 of the 7C80.
There's no useable output there, and I'm not sure where to search and what to do next ...
If there's any chance you could have a look at my .hal and .ini files, that would be very much appreciated

I also included the output of the terminal from where LinuxCNC was launched, and the output of "halcmd show signal spin".
Voltage between SINDLE+ and SPINDLE- seems to be just noise or in the mV-Magnitude.
Thank you for reading and best regards,
Erik
