I came to the .hal section below looking around on the net and testing, but, while this seems to work from time to time, basically, I'm not using the index signal which I would need for eg threading.
Especially the line net spindle-phase-A <= parport.0.pin-11-in => encoder.0.phase-A encoder.0.phase-Z Makes me wonder. This would send 50 indexes per turn. I guess one should have a single Z index per turn to act as reference point when threading.
