Hallo Hippy,
could you please test the following:
your custom.hal
Code:
# HY VFD Controls
loadusr -W hy_vfd -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p odd -r 19200
net hy-fwd motion.spindle-forward => hy_vfd.spindle-forward
net hy-rev motion.spindle-reverse => hy_vfd.spindle-reverse
net hy-on motion.spindle-on => hy_vfd.spindle-on
net spindle-cmd motion.spindle-speed-out => hy_vfd.speed-command
net spindle-at-speed motion.spindle-at-speed
your postgui.hal
Code:
# VFD
net hy_RPM hy_vfd.spindle-speed-fb => gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar
net hy_Speed hy_vfd.spindle-at-speed => gmoccapy.spindle_at_speed_led
# Tool Change
net tool-change gmoccapy.toolchange-change <= iocontrol.0.tool-change
net tool-changed gmoccapy.toolchange-changed <= iocontrol.0.tool-changed
net tool-prep-number gmoccapy.toolchange-number <= iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number
net tool-prep-loop iocontrol.0.tool-prepare <= iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
net tooloffset-x gmoccapy.tooloffset-x <= motion.tooloffset.x
net tooloffset-z gmoccapy.tooloffset-z <= motion.tooloffset.z
setp hy_vfd.enable 1
# that one will work, but IMHO it is better to be connected to motion.motion-enabled
# like this
# net motion.motion-enabled => hy_vfd.enable
# this way the spindle will be disabled if the machine is off
You should not have "direction marks" to the signal names.
And there was no connection to motion.spindle-speed-out
Please open halshow (settings page most right button) and watch for the following pin:
motion.spindle-speed-out
motion.spindle-at-speed
motion.spindle-forward
motion.spindle-reverse
motion.spindle-on
motion.motion-enabled
Report about the results.
It may be we still need a scale to calculate from rps to rpm, but that depends on your VFD
