Help needed to get my 7i76E + 7i85S + 7i73 on my mill going.

renamed and it became a mess.
Obviously there was a mix of ini and hal = now only these 2 files.
I suspect *wrong* ini was used thus wrong hal.
Newbie mistake assuming things

setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.scale [AXIS_0] ENCODER_SCALE

Error FIXED [AXIS_0] ENCODER_SCALE to [AXIS_0]ENCODER_SCALE

The Popup shows and is counting BUT manually turning Spindle
Now net spindle-vel hm.........04.velocity does not exist

You can use the "select" button on the halmeter to see what the encoder velocity pin is really called.

I probably got the hal pin name wrong, I don't actually have an encyclopedic knowledge of the exact hal pin names of every possible system configuration including hardware I have never even seen.

Now error at above line = empty variable name

I think your problem here might be the space between [AXIS_0] ENCODER_SCALE
So change these lines to this.

It is correct name
It counts turning by hand
BUT now only M4 is functioning not M3

G33.1 is working by turning spindle by hand and returns with M4 when in position.

M3 = mysterious

edit/ output 8 is false all the time

Code:

setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.scale [AXIS_0]ENCODER_SCALE setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.01.scale [AXIS_1]ENCODER_SCALE setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.02.scale [AXIS_2]ENCODER_SCALE setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.03.scale [AXIS_3]ENCODER_SCALE setp hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.04.scale [SPINDLE_9]ENCODER_SCALE

Done forum.linuxcnc.org/39-pncconf/33069-help...oing?start=380#98697

Can somebody share their knowledge why M3 / Spindle forward is not functioning.

Testing G33.1 it works if I turn spindle by hand in CW direction and when in depth position M4 goes active and returns.

You have a bad pin name (7i76 instead of 7i76e)

I usually make a "donor" file of pin names to select from so I don't ever have to type them

something like:

halcmd show pin hm2* > hardware-pins

OK, error message gone BUT...
Still no M3 so something must be missing in Andys code for Spindle.
