You should be able to debug spindle operation by using halshow
to look at the spindle pins as you set the spindle speed to different values
Important things to watch are:

hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-minlim  
hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-maxlim   
hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-scalemax 
hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinena-invert  

 hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout
hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinena


Also make sure then the electrical connections are correct
(so you have 10V from SPIN+ to SPIN-)

I was able to correct the IP address
it doesn't work, I can set cw-cww-enable but no speed.
I am trying to update and it cannot find the linuxcnc repository , gives an error
I am using 2.9.5

Should I reinstall everything again?
I don't understand what is happening

Yes, the sample file is set for a 10.10.10.10 IP address
if you are using 192.168.1.121, you will get that error
 

Is the networking set up for Mesa?
Is the IP address on the board set same as in the config?

Houston !!! i have a problem!!! 

Thank you very much!!!!!

Here's a pncconf created basic 4 axis configuration with spindle:


 

 

Could someone set up a 4 axis + 1 spindle of 24000 rpm with pncconf?
I assembled 2 computers with 2 7i76e motherboard boards and both are experiencing the same issue.
I can program manually with cw cww enable and it works perfectly, but when I want to incorporate a pwm component, it gives me an error.
If I can obtain the .hal and .ini files, I can modify them and proceed with a machine that I need to get working.
thank you!!!!!!

Can the network configuration affect?

No, the FPGA card need not even be present for pncconf to run

I would try setting the locale to en-US

I can run it from the console without any problem.

Can the network configuration affect?

 

I suspect this may be a localization bug in pncconf

If you run pncconf from the command line, does it print any error messages?

I can't see that page, it goes up to P1-P2.

I see only TB2/TB3 P1 P2

it doesn't allow me to add a PWM. I set it to 1 and it goes back to 0

yes!

A very basic bit of hal code for a 7I76E MPG would be:

net mpg-counts  hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.enc0.count 
net mpg-counts  axis.x.jog-counts
net mpg-counts  axis.y.jog-counts
net mpg-counts  axis.z.jog-counts
net x-jog-enable hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-07 axis.x.jog-enable
net y-jog-enable hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-08 axis.y.jog-enable
net z-jog-enable hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-09 axis.z.jog-enable

loadrt mux4
addf mux4.0 servo thread
net jog-inc0 hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-10  mux4.0.sel0
net jog-inc1 hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-11  mux4.0.sel1
setp mux4.0.in0 0.0001
setp mux4.0.in1 0.0010
setp mux4.0.in2 0.0100
setp mux4.0.in3 0.1000
net jog-scale mux4.0.out
net jog-scale axis.x.jog-scale
net jog-scale axis.y.jog-scale
net jog-scale axis.z.jog-scale

Notes:

This is for axis rather than for joints so will only work after homing
(a minor change is needed to jog before and after homing)

The I/O pins and jog increments are arbitrary

The mux4 select bits are a binary code 00,01,10,11 to select the jog increment.
This can usually be arranged with a wafer switch but can be redone for linear select
or button press to select the increments.

 

There is no PWM involved (at least at the configuration level)

pncconf setup looks like:
