The point I was making was that the Doc said see the other integrators 
manual for more details.  It doesn't exist in that doc, so I go to the 
wiki, and all the links to other wiki pages from spindle-synched motion 
are broken.

True, for after the move has begun, but it needs a true to allow it to 
start.

I found that info in man 9 motion, an hour ago.  And I've been pouring 
over my hal file since. I think its all hooked up but isn't working. The 
joint following error is exerted (I found this by slowing the spindle to 
about 40 rpms) at the initiation of the reverse move back up. But I'm 
not awake yet either. Coffee is perking, and I'll probably go back to 
bed after I've coffee'd and fed the missus. Up and down on an 18" stool 
quite a few times yesterday, cause all this is on a shelf close to 6 
feet off the floor, and leg cramps screwed up what should have been 
plenty of sleep time. Still in pain.

I don't recommend old age, its not at all what its cracked up to be.

So first I have to reinstall the P3 cable after I'd trimmed the end of 
the ribbon and gave it a coat of superglue gel, which may have been the 
short that blew the 5i25's ptc to bits, leaveing a charred depression in 
the pcb where it was.  Then I can check the near.speed output, and take 
another look at motion.spindle-index-enable. The 5i25 is a fresh one.

Back with more details after I've put it back together and up to normal 
on my coffee levels.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
