Do you have an encoder on the spindle? If so, see
pico-systems.com/codes/jebport/
files are spindle.hal and spindle.xml
and yyou need to call up these files from the .ini file
as a POSTGUI_HALFILE as shown in the .ini file there.

The spindle speed is calculated in ppmc_motion.hal
and put on a HAL pin so the spindle.hal file can put
it into the bar graph provided by spindle.xml

any input is appreciated!!

Hi

Copy the spindle.xml file and the spindle.hal files into your config folder.

Open your .ini file in gedit and in the [DISPLAY] section have
PYVCP = spindle.xml

In the [HAL] section have
POSTGUI_HALFILE = spindle.hal

Save the file and restart your config and the spindle speed bar should display ( so long as your other connections are the same as Jons setup)

regards

thank you for the input!

I have followed what you instructed.

i put the spindle.xlm and spindle.hal files to the config folder(the one that was created by stepconf wizard, where my .ini file is, right??)

i have also edited the .ini file

one thing to note was that there are two types of spindle.hal : net and link? the name was same but the icons are different

anyways, when I try to load EMC, I get this error (in the attached)

What is wrong are the three dashes (-) in front of tags, they should not be there
Remove and it should load OK
