Great news overall. I have the XZW moving and within a very tight control. The PID values were:
P 150
I 0
D 0
FF0 0
FF1 1.5
FF2 0.005

I was having challenges with enabling the spindle, but I now have it going. I can spin the spindle using an open loop of:

Code:

addf scale.0 servo-thread
setp scale.0.gain 0.0025
net spindle-speed-scale motion.spindle-speed-out => scale.0.in
net spindle-speed-DAC scale.0.out => hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.1.analogout5

However, the challenge is how to close the loop. The old code on the machine did not seem to let me change the speed.

It is likely the amount of code I have uploaded/recycled/repaired in the .hal file that is causing the issue. I will next try to make a new configuration using the PNCCONFIG to make the control loop for me.

I figured out some, but not all, of how to make it work. If I click spin forward it will give an output voltage of 1, then if I click the +, it will go to 10V. Same in reverse.

I do not think it is doing any form of PID control now. It only has a P of 1. Is there a tuning process for spindles? The Calibration window doesn't seem to let me control the spindle inputs. I suppose I could renumber the spindle to _8 so that it would show up. I will try that tomorrow.

Something odd is happening with the spindle control. I am noticing that the spindle vel-fb-rps is working, but the vel-fb-rpm is not.

What can cause this and/or how can I link the two?

Code:

add another scale with a gain of 60 and then
net spindle-vel-fb-rps => scale.x.in
net spindle-vel-fb-rpm <= scale.x.out

Hi
I feel confused about the *.hal. I have inserted the lcec. I just don't know how to make the motor run. Could you give me some advices or any examples?

I am nowhere near knowledgeable about Linux CNC to give a full run down but here I will try.

HAL is where all the links happen. You say a pin has this name? Link it to something real like a hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.output-00. You also load variables, like a scale. Loadrt scale.0. You can set the scale to a value in the ini file.

So when someone writes => scale.0.in, they are taking whatever is being put into scale.0 and multiplying it by the gain set on scale.0. That value can then be written to some other real or virtual pin.

So scale neess to be loaded, defined a gain, have a value put into it, then it can scale that value and give an output that you write to a pin.
