Spindle speed wacky

Tried that. If fixed the reverse speed control, so now both forward and reverse have the wackiness with the slider.

Moving the slider down from 100%, the spindle slows as it approaches arounf 65%, then goes to full speed and repeats the process at around 35%.

In addition to the -abs change, these items in the ini file should be changed


OUTPUT_SCALE = 5000
(was 100)
OUTPUT_MIN_LIMIT = 0
(was -5000)

Thanks PCW - that fixed the wackiness with the slider. However, the spindle is now truning at 300rpm at 100% (it should be running at 5000)

I would check (with halshow)

hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-scalemax

hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout

And check (with a voltmeter)

The spindle 10V supply (TB4 pin 3)
and output voltage (TB4 pin 2),
both relative to TB4 pin1

Encoder issues...
What encoder?
How it is wired to Mesa?
Does it have a shielded and grounded wire?
Is it a differential or single ended encoder?
Is the Mesa set up for differential or single ended?

The spindle.output is set at 300 as shown in the watchlist -so I have to look for it in the hal file it looks like.
