I'd also be interested in some samples. The lathe I am working on has 9 gear ranges and it might be nice to utilize perhaps three of them to optimize torque in the speed range desired. The spindle encoder is on the spindle so it will give actual spindle speed no matter what range the gears are in. There are plenty of inputs available if I wanted to put some sensors on the gear shifts so LinuxCNC could tell what range it's in.

Hi all; As I have a 2 speed backgear head on this toy of mine, I'd like to make use of this module to actually double up the low speed power. But I've no clue where to insert it. I do not want the tach to be effected, just a higher motor speed to make up for the higher gear ratio, for more delivered torque at the chuck. So, those of you using it, how are you using it?, snippets of hal files most welcome. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
