It looks like you are figuring it out like I did! 
I started by mocking everything up on a wood panel and getting the motors turning.
Now I am getting starting installing it in a permanent cabinet and getting the motors on a machine.
I too had the following error until I raised my error limits.
I guess I will find out once I've got everything integrated if I need to tweak those values.

Hallo meister,
sorry für die späte Rückmeldung.

Hab das Import-Ergebnis gesehen. Sieht gut aus. Passt es auch masslich?

Concise and to the point.

I doubt that would have helped. You know as well as I do that the conversation would have gone pretty much exactly as this one has: completely irrelevant advice that has nothing to do with the question.

Maybe someone on a Mac forum or similar could provide one

I would have had the same conversation anywhere else.

Is it still possible to import VirtualBox virtual machines into Parallels ? And is it possible to import an x86 VirtualBox VM into Parallels running on an Arm based Mac.

No. Ask me how I know!

Or step over to the dark side and obtain a 2nd hand T series Lenovo laptop. T530 work quite well. Easier to transport from your workshop, office, ivory tower or wherever.

I already mentioned two PCs that I already own.

I just want to add that my experience so far, after buying a Mesa board and attempting to set up a LinuxCNC control on a router has been absurd. The Mesa board seems okay, and well made, but the culture around LinuxCNC is confusing. Before engineering school, I was a CNC programmer and I admired the Heidenhain TNC640 controls our dozens of Hermle 5-axis machines ran on. I started to understand what all the fuss was about Linux. But LinuxCNC is whole other animal. It feels more like a Masonic Temple than software. I just want to optimize running a machine that I bought, and has very common components, but because of how awful the documentation is, the forum is mandatory. But this forum is not great. Sorry!

thanks I changed to ETH.h same problem

So, after several hours I stumbled on something and somehow I managed to get it working my self

Only thing I did was to change the "setp cia402.0.pos-scale" to -2000. I have no idea what it means even... but I saw the difference when looking through Marcorep's github (github.com/marcoreps/linuxcnc_leadshine_EL8).

At least I'm starting to see the connection between all the .ini .hal and .xml files.

EDIT :

Okay so it was not actually the negative number, it was the fact that I removed it from the .ini and set it directly in the .hal file.

I had these two lines in .ini:
POSSCALE = 100000
VELOSCALE = 100000

and in .hal i had this:
setp cia402.0.pos-scale [JOINT_0]POSSCALE
setp cia402.0.velo-scale [JOINT_0]VELOSCALE

after the change I removed the two lines from .ini and changed the .hal to:
setp cia402.0.pos-scale -2000

And now I understand that the negative number just inverts the encoder Anyways I'm leaving my mistakes here so someone else might benefit from them.

Das funkioniert. Ich weis nur nicht wieso ich bei einer encoderauflösung statt 1000, 10000 einstellen muss aber dann stimmt es.

Danke an alle

That works. I dont know why i have to set 10000 per revolution? Correct would be 1000 per revolution. But with 10k it works.

Thank you all

Halscope (and a software encoder) cannot reliably "see" pulses shorter
than the sample period (4 ms in this case).

That would be fixed by using firmware with a hardware encoder and using
the hardware encoder rather than LinuxCNCs software encoder component.

Slow optocouplers.
Better quality BOB should help, or just get 2 fast optos.

My lathe spindle originally had an Index pulse and 10 encoder pulses per revolution. From the problems discussed in
      forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...peed?start=40#319800
I thought it would be better if I generated more than 10 pulses per spindle revolution.

I built a ring to fit on my lathe pulley with 180 teeth. I picked this size because it had the most teeth that I though I could machine. They were about 1/16" width and depth. I found that the proximity probe I was using could not detect these small teeth. I replaced it with a Hall Effect Sensor =11.0ptS38J-22ADSO-5KJA5 from Standex Electronics. Here's the installation:
 

Here's what the output looks like at 400 RPM on my oscilloscope:
 

This is about 24V. The frequency of the signal is about 6 cycles in 5 mS, or 1,200 Hz. Expected signal is 180 pulses * 400 RPM / 60  = 1,200 Hz. So far, so good.

The signal goes into a breakout board with optoisolators. I can see the signal on the input and output side of the optos, so I know it's going into the circuit OK. I don't see any missed pulses on the oscilloscope. The breakout board feeds a Mesa 7i92.

When I pull up the encoder inputs in HalScope, I see:
 

Not good. I should see 180 pulses between the index pulses. I'm seeing about 10. Plus, one of the index pulses is missing.

I have a separate DRO that also displays the spindle RPM. If I compare it to the RPM shown on LinuxCNC, they match from 0-150 RPM, then for higher speeds LinuxCNC shows speeds lower than 150.  So if the lathe is at 500 RPM on the DRO, LinuxCNC shows about 60 RPM. Again, I can see on the oscilloscope that I'm getting all the pulses.

Here is my .INI and .HAL files. Any ideas?
 

isn't 'cia402.n.controlword' an output pin? (you can't setp output pins)

Hahaha
I used to get the "I'm a hacker and have hacked all your devices and have videos of you watching rude videos and doing rude things"
My reply was "all still images and videos of myself are copyrighted. I will have my people visit you to discuss your upcoming self deletion. As we are reasonable people we will not expose your friends and family members to the videos you have collected of random people doing things"

These always came to an old Hotmail account I've had pre 2000, and look at every 2 months or so.
Seriously, I've seen every scam known to man come through that.

That would have been how to ask for what you wanted. Concise and to the point.
Maybe someone on a Mac forum or similar could provide one, tho I would ask for a Debian bookworm image, as asking for a Linuxcnc image might lead to answers you don't want.

Is it still possible to import VirtualBox virtual machines into Parallels ? And is it possible to import an x86 VirtualBox VM into Parallels running on an Arm based Mac.
Or step over to the dark side and obtain a 2nd hand T series Lenovo laptop. T530 work quite well. Easier to transport from your workshop, office, ivory tower or wherever.

  I am well on my way to that myself. Between this and the Bambu Lab scenario I am waiting for Dr.Evil to emerge from the shadows
with some sort of ransom deal. LOL

Really cool! Tomorrow I will have some time to test around. I also wrote a small ncode with some loops to test P and F values. Will test and provide tomorrow.

The conversion I dont get right now. Of course I know how to use components and so on, but have to look how you mean it.

Julian, can you join the qtpyvcp chat room?
