I've just spent an unfruitful few hours searching through the HAL stuff to write a simple spindle speed set routine.
HALUI allows me to increment and decrement it in 100s but nowhere can I put in 350rpm and get it.
Is it so obvious that I've missed it?
Can I make the HALUI steps smaller, 10 or even 1, and 'buzz' it up and down?
There is an 'Increment=' value for a spindle0 in the INI but changing that from 100 didn't help.
Can I fake up an S command?
I'm sure you smart guys have done it and I must confess it is to use the mill for a pretty deviant job not pure metal cutting but...

Thanks for the replies, finally disabling #SERR in the BIOS settings helped.
I uploaded the bin file 5i25t_7i77x2d.bin to the card
Now I am dealing with creating a configuration using PNCconf. I don't have a choice of 5i25t card here. Should I create the files for the 5i25 card and then overwrite the .hal file of the 5i25 to the 5i25t?

Glad you got it going.

If you wanted to you could post the .ts file when you have finished your translations and we could include it in master branch.
 

I have actually found 4 companies that make software, 1 of them is relatively affordable. The issue again becomes generating tools path. I am curious about the Freecad work offset bench however. does freecad support 4th axis or C axis work ? I was considering adding a indicator with a radius foot that could act as a encoder onto a set of centers I have laying around with a encoder to grab the pertinent data. Very open to ideas on all of this BTW. the air cutting issue isn\t that big of a deal. If I can figure out how to generate the roughing profiles on the C axis, I can add a spindle to my lathe, rough turn the camshaft and then rough in the cam lobes. Stand it up and drill the ends or do it as a C-axis drilling open for the locating pin or bolt up.

I am very open to suggestions on all of this BTW
