Ok, first thing, lets just get rid of this in your Router.hal:
# Load Classicladder without GUI (can reload LADDER GUI in AXIS GUI
loadusr classicladder --nogui custom.clp

[edit]

I just noticed that you somehow lost a bunch of lines in your Router.hal. Copy these back in between whats in line 20 and line 21
addf pwmgen.update servo-thread

net spindle-cmd-rpm => pwmgen.0.value
net spindle-on <= spindle.0.on => pwmgen.0.enable
net spindle-pwm <= pwmgen.0.pwm
setp pwmgen.0.pwm-freq 100.0
setp pwmgen.0.scale 1166.66666667
setp pwmgen.0.offset 0.114285714286
setp pwmgen.0.dither-pwm true

Hm, you still have all those unnecessary files in there that I deleted. So please DELETE the folder "Router" in your config folder and put the extracted folder "Router" from the zip I posted in there. Then report .

Hang on I found an error in the config I posted I will post another shortly...


[edit]

Ok, so again:
1- DELETE your folder "Router" in the folder "config".
2- check that the folder "config" does NOT contain a folder "Router" anymore
2- Unzip the attached "Router.zip" into your folder "config"
3- Check if the folder "config" contains a folder "Router" again.
4- start Router.ini from the terminal.
5- report any errors

Here is the "Router.zip" to unzip into your "config" folder after you have completed steps 1 and 2:

Thanks again and progress. I had spent some time, again, cleaning out and then created a new config. Followed your instructions although I do not know how to start from terminal. and just used the desktop icon. Linuxcnc booted up and touchoff now working so nearly all ok.
I am trying to find a way to start my spindle. I have used the Hal Watch and this changes when I activated on/off. Sould I have changed a pin in the Stepconfig?

It has connections for 0>10vSpeed spindle and PWM
