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. > I don't think that either of those is true. > Spindle-at-speed is (or ought to be) ignored during a > spindle-synchronised move. True, for after the move has begun, but it needs a true to allow it to start. > encoder.Z is not typicallt a HAL connection (except when using parport > and software encoder counters). > Furthermore, without an index connected the spindle-synch move won't > even 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.
