My goal is to get my spindle RPM from a simple high/low optical sensor I have connected to my spindle. I just want a RPM reading of the spindle, not for threading. I get a high/low transition once per rev. I have the signal connected to IDX- and ENCA- on my Mesa 7i76 board based on someone's suggestion. I can see the signals on the corresponding pins on the Hal Meter. I added the suggested sections to my custom HAL file based on this thread:
forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/26-turning/17960-pyvcp-tachometer
It did not work. Nearly every line had an error starting with the second line. I would comment out the line that had an error and then would get another error, etc, etc.
So Is this code in the link good code for what I am trying to do? I can post the errors if need be.
Good code or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

You should be able to get a decent velocity signal by setting the encoder counter to velocity mode
so instead of the encoder setup section on the example you can use the hardware encoder:
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1 # set counter to up/down mode
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.vel-timeout 2 # go down to 1/2 RPS before we give up and report 0 velocity
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.scale 1 # set scale to 1 turn per count (may need to be -1 to get direction right)
net spindle-velocity hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.velocity
Then the pyvcp/filter stuff remains the same:
loadrt scale count=1
loadrt abs count=1
loadrt lowpass count=1
addf scale.0 servo-thread
addf abs.0 servo-thread
addf lowpass.0 servo-thread
setp lowpass.0.gain 0.01
###############################################
# Display spindle speed in pyvcp bar
###############################################
setp scale.0.gain 60.0 #convert velocity per sec into rpm
net spindle-velocity => lowpass.0.in
net filtered-spindle-velocity <= lowpass.0.out => abs.1.in
net absolute-spindle-velocity <= abs.1.out => scale.1.in
net scaled-spindle-velocity <= scale.1.out => pyvcp.spindle-speed
so instead of the encoder setup section on the example you can use the hardware encoder:
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1 # set counter to up/down mode
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.vel-timeout 2 # go down to 1/2 RPS before we give up and report 0 velocity
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.scale 1 # set scale to 1 turn per count (may need to be -1 to get direction right)
net spindle-velocity hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.velocity

Thanks for the info. The HAL portion seems to work. I see a highly variable output when I use Hal Meter on the 'spindle-velocity' signal. I'm assuming this is prior to any filtering.
Getting errors on the pyvcp side. I originally enabled the show spindle speed pyvcp add-on when I set things up using PNCconfig wizard if that matters. I was not sure where to add the above pyvcp code, so I tried custom_postgui.hal and also tried adding it to pyvcp_option.hal (not simultaneously). Pretty much get the same error shown below:
Debug file information:
.
Error: could not insert module /usr/realtime-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae/modules/linuxcnc/abs.ko: File exists
pyvcp_options.hal:13: exit value: 1
pyvcp_options.hal:13: insmod for abs failed, returned -1
See the output of 'dmesg' for more information.

Thoughts on what's causing this? Thanks

That shows that your config already has a "abs" component so the fix is to
add another instance of "abs" in the existing loadrt abs line in your hal file
add another instance of "abs" in the existing loadrt abs line in your hal file

Not making much progress. Input on what's wrong with my HAL file would be greatly appreciated. I added the count=1 to the abs and lowpass lines.

loadrt lowpass names=lowpass.spindle,count=1
You can't use names= and count=
You especially can't separate them with a comma.
Use one, or the other.
Also, I suspect that you need more than one of each, or there wouldn't be an extra "loadrt"somewhere else to cause trouble.

I got encoder velocity to show but it is highly variable and the scaling seems way off. Changing the gain doesn't really help. Could this have something to do with it the servo-thread speed. I thought I recall reading that the servo-thread speed should be proportional to the encoder resolution. In this case I have a one count per rev resolution. Code to implement this if it's true would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. I noticed that my encA- and idx- are opposite. One is high when the other is low. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks

I don't see the source for your spindle-velocity signal. Where does it come from?

Sorry. The code below was in an ancillary HAL file. It has since been moved to the main HAL file.
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1 # set counter to up/down mode
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.vel-timeout 2 # go down to 1/2 RPS before we give up and report 0 velocity
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.scale 1 # set scale to 1 turn per count (may need to be -1 to get direction right)
net spindle-velocity hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.velocity
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1 # set counter to up/down mode
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.vel-timeout 2 # go down to 1/2 RPS before we give up and report 0 velocity
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.scale 1 # set scale to 1 turn per count (may need to be -1 to get direction right)
net spindle-velocity hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.velocity

Curious. If it is a good encoder then the hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.velocity value should be pretty accurate.
What does that pin look like in Halscope?
