Best way to get code changes for specific hardware into master would be to create a pull request with the description of the issue and the proposed (and tested) changes.

No double posting please.

That's the current status. A few startup errors have gone away, but I think I need to change the entire pin assignment now. Are there any other serious errors you see besides the pin assignments?

   

exactly right. all my logic changed to base-thread.. and the spindle rotation works as expected. spindle speed mode or c-axis mode.

thank you PCW
best regards

I would think Logic should be possible with stepgen signals if
you addf the logic components to the base thread instead of the servo thread.

I tried using two modes on the lathe spindle.

I want to be able to change the spindle speed mode to c-axis mode which can be changed by entering Mcode

Here is an example of my code:

#######################

net caxis-cc-step <= stepgen.2.up
net caxis-ccw-step <= stepgen.2.down

net mode-caxis => and2.10.in0 => and2.11.in0
net caxis-cc-step => and2.10.in1
net caxis-ccw-step => and2.11.in1
net caxis-cc-out and2.10.out => or2.6.in0
net caxis-ccw-out and2.11.out => or2.7.in0



net spindle-cw-step <= stepgen.4.up
net spindle-ccw-step <= stepgen.4.down

net mode-spindle => and2.12.in0 => and2.13.in0
net spindle-cw-step => and2.12.in1
net spindle-ccw-step => and2.13.in1
net sp-cc-out and2.12.out => or2.6.in1
net sp-ccw-out and2.13.out => or2.7.in1

net servo-cc or2.6.out => parport.0.pin-08-out
net servo-ccw or2.7.out => parport.0.pin-09-out

#######################

M198 code:
#!/bin/bash
halcmd sets mode-caxis True
halcmd sets mode-spindle False
exit 0


M199 code:
#!/bin/bash
halcmd sets mode-caxis False
halcmd sets mode-spindle True
exit 0

#######################

I have tried all the codes above. M-code works well, it can change the spindle mode to c-axis or c-axis to spindle mode. but the resulting signal is not perfect.

I assume that the stepgen signal cannot use and2 or or2 logic, so that the stepping signal is damaged?
