This basically amounts to closing the spindle speed request yourself. It should be as simple as adding a "number" widget to the PyVCP panel and then netting it to the motion.spindle-speed-out HAL pin. I have a feeling that I have seen a double-needle dial widget somewhere, which would be almost ideal for this. You would connect one needle to spindle-speed-out and the other to the measured spindle speed and your job is to keep one needle on top of the other. > I can't put it in a MSG because MSG won't accept variables. (DEBUG, Spindle Request #33) Will sort-of work for this type of thing. (if #33 was set to the desired spindle speed). Sorting out automatic speed control is something I would very much advocate. Is your lathe still running with a motor-generator-motor setup or do you have one of the more modern drives? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
