spindle display via 7-segment LED

I just started playing with GladeVCP and in the demo config it has a horizontal bar style spindle readout. I would rather have numbers like your standard 7 segment LED display. Is this possible?

Thanks!

I just found this, which is close: gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/gladevcp/gladevcp03.html

I really don't need a dial, just the digits. I'll keep searching.

Awesome, thanks!

So I've spent about 20 hours farting around with GladeVCP trying to get a label or the meter to pick up the tach signal, and I have made zero progress. I've read the tutorials (gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/gladevcp/index.html) about 100 times and the only thing I've successfully done is get an LED to turn on.

I've dug through the sim files over and over and there is no place I can find where the meter is assigned pin, so I have no idea what the code is to make this work. I've read through the HAL and all other manuals over and over searching for anything that would work, and found nothing. I swear I'm not an idiot, but figuring out HAL pins and GladeVCP is like trying to decode the symbols on the stargate.

I am using Axis, and I think I am getting really close but I'm getting an error instead of Axis loading up. There is a screenshot of the errors in the zip file.

Sweet! That got Axis to launch but the meter still isn't picking up the signal

In the pin setup I'm using spindle-phase-a for pin 15, maybe that is what is making the difference? I have a encoder ring with 16 slots.

EDIT: I just started playing with the built-in spindle speed display in Axis which is new to me being that I just upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6 before starting down this glade road. I noticed that while I don't yet have linuxcnc controlling my mill spindle, using F11 and F12 affects the reading on the gladevcp meter. Maybe the meter can't take a direct reading from my sensor because it is taking it from the Axis spindle speed buttons?
