I have not used the anglejog component other than playing around with the sim config. As I understand it the 'scale' factor is used to avoid stair stepping in the tool path. Maybe the original discussion can give you some more clues:

[edit]
I would tend to use the default values used in the sim config and adjust the
'max_vel',  'max_accel' pins (and possibly 'accel_fraction_in' for fine tuning) 
Thanks for your help. I should play with the sim config, I'm not sure how to do that?

Okay, figured out what I was doing wrong (anglejog.N.iscale-factor), so I now have angle jogging working.

Thanks for all your help!

I was generating the bit string backwards which only worked right if all output types were the same. I just fixed that with PCW's help. The inputs and outputs hal has just been fixed as well.

OK that means that index is working as expected, so if homing
to index fails, its likely a homing setup issue.

Another remark.. not sure if that me misunderstanding anything or if its another bug, but witih MesaCT I generated a config to set my outputs 0-7 to sinking and 8-15 to sourcing.
This were the generated lines:
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output_sink 0xff00
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output_source 0xff

isnt this "the wrong order"? imho this sets 0-7 to source and 8-15 to sink.. right?

Yes.  Here is a schematic that goes from the interface PCB to the hypertherm microedge for the drives.  I'm only familiar with stepper motors at this point so this is a little overwhelming.

Thx JT for the quick reply!

Hello again, it's been a while. I'm now back working on the lathe machine. I connected the Modbus to the X and Y axis servo motors and also to the spindle – all working fine. I can read the load values from the servo motors without problems. But there is an issue with the spindle load display. Sometimes it shows too many zeros after the decimal point. I tried to fix this with Python code to cut the extra zeros, but I couldn't make it work. Has anyone had this problem before?
What is the easiest way to fix it?
