I did check the "single channel" box in the spindle setup in PnCConf, and I see it did set the counter mode to 1. Even if it did try to do closed loop, I would expect it to at least start the spindle and then fail, rather than not moving at all. Even in the open loop test it will not run if the encoder is setup, but without the encoder setup it runs fine. On the instant reverse issue I am wondering if instead of using the fully isolated enable and direction outputs provided by the 7i76 if I would be better off setting up for fwd/rev control and using two of the general field outputs (I have plenty free) which should still be fine since the VFD is isolated itself and it's inputs are optos. ------Original Mail------ From: "andy pugh" <bodge...@gmail.com> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 22:01:54 +0100 Subject: Re: [Emc-users] New to LinuxCNC and PnCConf and need some help...

I wonder if PNCconf is attempting to set up a closed-loop setup which fails due to lack of a B-channel? Can you put the HAL file that pncconf is creating for you up on pastebin.com ? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
