I had previously tied my oil pump to the run signal on my VFD, so when
the machine was running, lube pump was running.

The lube pump works with a cam raising an oiler, then letting the
spring/gravity drive the pump to push the oil out.

My understanding is that it's pretty common to oil way too much on
these bridgeport series 1 BOSSV if you leave the pump running all the
time, which has proven to be the case for mine, as my floor will
attest.


Is there a nice way to do a periodic timer or duty cycle in the hal?
It's trivial for me to drive the pump relay with a digital output,
then I can tune the pump cam motor duty cycle with 'run' to keep it
running automatically, but not quite so much...

Thanks in advance,
John
