(Solved) FlexGUI - Multiple spindles?

Starting to set up spindle status displays in Flex and ran in to a snag.

The documentation isn't explicit about how to reference multiple spindles, but I'm guessing the "0" in dynamic property like spindle_speed_0_lb is for [SPINDLE_0].

Problem 1 - spindle_actual_speed_lb doesn't reference a particular spindle.  Oversight in documentation, or was this not set up for multiple spindle encoders?  Document also has this note:

So I'm not sure if I should use the spindle_actual_speed_lb, or just set up a HAL float label.

Problem 2 - document indicates Flex looks for [SPINDLE_0]:
What about other spindles?  I've got three spindles on my lathe (main, sub, live-tool), and (theoretically) all three could be running at the same time.

I can probably muddle through using HAL labels and so forth, but was wondering if there's a built-in set of spindle connections I'm just not seeing.

Thx

Spindles are typically controlled through the NML interface by the GUIs, so if the GUI doesn't support multiple spindles you might have to use MDI to turn on and off the auxilliary spindles.

THat said, flexgui is mane to be flexible, so maybe there is suopport?
I haven't used it yet.
 

Thanks Andy.  I'm trying it out for the first time now.

All machine functions are already handled with hardware controls; I just want displays for all three spindles.  The only on-screen control which could cause machine movement of any type will be an MDI 'run' button.

I'm guessing FlexGUI is new enough that @JT hasn't had anyone bugging him about outlier configurations much.

Mods - please mark as 'solved'

Looks like JT updated FlexGUI for multiple spindles on GH a few hours ago.

Can't wait to update and have a go at it!

You did include spindle 0 in your tests? That's the ninth, (should be numbered from 0 to 8)
