Found it. There are several parameters that don't work on the cheap 1.5 horse clone models, and reporting its internal temp is one of them, and parameter 24 had been left at that setting. Setting it back to 1 shows the spindle speed in an odd way, showing the speed its synchronous in hz. Now, if the interface had that available as a dc voltage, I'd feed it to one of the first 4 inputs on the 7i76 (yeah, dream on sucker) so I could convert that back to the rpms with a bit of math in hal. Had to drive over to Lowes to get the screws I needed. fastened down the bus bar terminals, fired it back up, everything still works! Time to quit and think about dinner.
