I think its useful to have a simulated spindle encoder in the sim configs so G33.1 (and eventually G84) work in sim, too - currently executing a G33.1 in sim/axis.ini just blocks execution which is counter-intuitive
It turns out all is needed for axis.ini to have a simulated spindle encoder is: - define a [EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD = 50000 - add [HAL]HALFILE = ../lathe.hal and G33.1 (and likely other spindle-synced moves) work in sim It turns out that configs/sim/lathe.hal is a misnomer since all it does is add a simulated spindle encoder Barring diverging opinions, I will change lathe.hal to sim_encoder.hal and fix the affected files, as well as adding sim_encoder.hal to the configs/sim/axis/* files. - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
