OK Andy
WE (you) are getting there axis now loads with no errors .
The file was generated by PnCConf for my lathe But I know there are bugs in PnCConf some have been sorted but have missed 2.7.4
Now I need to connect up the index A and B from the encoder. I will report back when I have done it

Thanks Andy can I trouble you with the setting up now.
I have connected the A, B and index to the 7i76 What do I have to set in the hal and ini file to make it work

What doesn't work as things are now?
Open a halmeter and look at motion.spindle-revs
If that increases by 1 for one rev of the spindle you are probably all set.

Ok no joy with motion.spindle-revs but the voltage on the index at the 7i76 pin TB3 13 changes from 5V to 0V when the chuck is rotated
edit I am using this as single ended input
