ProbeBasic Spindle connection (No Speed indicated, no control possible)

Hey!
I am currently trying to get my machine running. My current issue is that I can not get the connection between my spindle (A BD600 via VFDmod over RS485) working in ProbeBasic. I can change the speed of the spindle using GCODE, so I can confirm that it works. However, I can not see the speed in BasicProbe nor can set the Speed. I think I am missing any HAL connection. My machine hal (iHSV57.hal) is currently a mess but I attached it as well.
My BD600.hal looks as following:
Does anyone know the correct connection? Is there any documentation available?

My BD600.hal looks as following:
# Load VFDmod for spindle control
loadusr -W vfdmod bd600.ini --debug
# Spindle Speed Command (From LinuxCNC to VFDmod)
net spindle-speed-cmd spindle.0.speed-out => vfdmod.spindle.rpm-in
# Spindle Speed Feedback (From VFDmod to LinuxCNC and GUI)
#net spindle-speed-in spindle.0.speed-in <= vfdmod.spindle.rpm-out
# Spindle Direction Control (Forward and Reverse)
net spindle-cw spindle.0.forward => vfdmod.control.run-forward
net spindle-ccw spindle.0.reverse => vfdmod.control.run-reverse
# Spindle Enable/Disable (Start/Stop)
#net spindle-enable spindle.0.on => vfdmod.control.run
# Spindle "At Speed" Feedback
net spindle-at-speed <= vfdmod.spindle.at-speed
# VFD Communication Status
net spindle-comm-ok <= vfdmod.rs485.is-connectedDoes anyone know the correct connection? Is there any documentation available?

You need to go through the config docs and make sure you're getting the signal and if you're getting the signal and everything is set properly in hal look in the post GUI hal file at the bottom and there's a spindle connection for actual readout, make sure that connection reflects what you have and your main hal file and in the settings tab in probe basic select actual RPM

Thank you! I managed to connect the line and get the actual RPM in the postgui file. However, I am not able to set the speed in the box.
Is there any additional documentation except for this one here?
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/machine_co...tion-for-probe-basic
However, as I can control it now with my GCode, its actually sufficient for me 
but it would still be nice to be able to command the speed by hand.

net spindle-actual-rpm => qtpyvcp.spindle-encoder-rpm.in but it would still be nice to be able to command the speed by hand.

tholse fields are read outs not user entries, to set the speed you use mdi, S#### M3/4

Ah, got it. I thought the textfield with the white background would allow to enter a number.
Another question: Are there more information on the Spindle Load indicator? I guess I am missing the HAL connection there as well.

the hal pin for the load insicator is spindle-load-indicator, just connect in hal as with any other connection, you will need to feed it the analog and give it a scale. the indicator scale in the ui is 0-150%

Great, thanks. I will look into it. Is there any documentation about all the HAL files?
I see that I am also missing some other connections and configurations.
Buttons like „go to zero“ or „go to G30“ are not working (yet).

Linux docs for hal things, probe basic docs for the rest
