First, the Hurco is alive! I carved  emc/axis into a piece of aluminum 
yesterday; thanks to all the participants for creating & supporting 
emc/lcnc/linuxcnc/etc.

Now to the next level - I'm using a hall sensor to detect spindle rpm; I 
get a clean low-going pulse each revolution, as expected. This is fed as 
input to the A channel of a hostmot2 encoder (running in counter mode). 
The velocity output always reports as a negative number - consistent at 
a given speed, larger abs. value at higher rpms, so it seems to be 
properly following whatever algorithm it uses. I've tried forcing the B 
channel to both high and low states without change in output behavior.

Any thoughts about what may be going on?

thanks

lloyd
