Can I make a small suggestion. It's actually a problem many OS projects have. There's no real introduction. When you open the documentation you would expect something that gives you an idea if it's worth full to continue reading. But you step right into the installation. But I will evaluate further because the name looks promising to what I am looking for. Thanks for your efforts already of course cheers

Hi Friends,

Circling back here, it was a blown driver, I've it replaced and now the motor acts as expected. Thanks for the support, i am no longer having this issue.

The _average_ PWM voltage (what a voltmeter reads) with be the output voltage (~5V)
times PWM_value/PWM_scale

The PWM amplitude is always 5V, its duty cycle changes with the PWM value

I would set the PWM value manually for testing as I have no idea what the velocities
are relative to the PWM scale

The PWM scale is voltage right? setp hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.00.scale 5.0 means the amplitude of the signal is 5 volts.
Does PWM in our context go positive to negative!! I did try setting it like this with 7i77 board.
When I measure the PWM output with a voltmeter, it shows positive 5 volts with both positive and negative jog directions with direction pin providing +5v when using negative jog and staying at 0 volts with positive jog.

Since I mentioned scale as 5.0 and I'm getting 5 V PWM signals correctly but why an initial spike of 0.25 volts and it goes back to zero and then climbs to 5 volts is the mystery that needs solving. I'll plot the velocity and PWM signals tomorrow and report back but isn't the PWM signal the one with drives the position thereby driving the velocity? Maybe setting max jog velocity has some effects on the PWM signals generated.

Two ways to do this:
1. method add 'tool_probe_and.in1' to the line above like this:

2. Reuse the signal name assigned to the ...input-08-not.
