Spindle direction signal when stopped

No. Setting "out" will reset "out-not" but setting "out-not" doesn't persist.

Still on the old flipflop, PathPilot V1 has no functioning halcompile, tried many ways but tripped up every time

What I have is (relevant part):
After starting PP what I expected to see was:
1) last-spindle-direction-latch.out (flipflop out) HI
2) spindle-dir-latched HI
3) hm2_5i25.0.gpio.005.out HI

but they are all LO, the flipflop is not set by the setp line


Once running it works as it should.

FWD RUN:


STOP after FWD RUN:


REV RUN:


The STOP after FWD RUN is what I was expecting initial state to be.

What am I missing?

You could try using the flip-flop "set" input, but would have to un-set it again somehow.

I've sorted this out, I now have a spindle that does what it's told and nothing more.

Fiddled with setting the flipflop output (io) pin but couldn't get it to work.
