hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00. is the hardware high speed encoder? hm2_5i25.0.encoder.01. is not the low speed encoder?
I've been looking through all the HostMot2 docs I can find including the section on encoders and it's not very clear to me. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/drivers/hostmot2.html#_encoder The PNCConf seems to think hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00. is the high speed spindle encoder input, so i presumed that when set to mode2 the low speed encoder inputs GPIO 16..19 would occupy the next two encoder instances. The only reference to the low speed encoder inputs I've found is the sentence or two on pg.18 of the 7i76man.pdf you pointed out. Surely there is a more detailed explanation of this somewhere? ------Original Mail------ From: "Peter C.
