Thats a problem I will face for the second time in a bit as I've bought a pair of the 3NM stepperservo's myself.
These are equipt with 1000 line encoders, I think that are actually 250 line encoders. So for the lathe, I will have to plug in the sprocket ratios and z screw stuff to get a usable z scale. But I faced a similar problem with my g0704 when I put an encoder on the top of the spindle motor because I had no clue what the gear ratio in the head of the g0704 had it either gear. I intended to get, and have but its failed at the moment, an index pulse from the spindle rotation. So I cobbled up in the hal file, a counter which gave me the number of pulses from the 1000 line on the motor, for 100 turns of the spindle, measuring for both high and low gears, so I now have a couple switches on the rim of the gearshift knob to tally which gear it is fully seated into which in turn control a couple muxes so the tach and such stay calibrated. By using a mux4 for the speed control I can also insert a very low speed commend when its not quite seated in either gear. So I can reach up and shift gears when its running and its turning very slowly, the next gear flat faces mesh perfectly, and the selected speed resumes when one of the tally's goes good. That counter is still in the hal file, but commented out. and I just put a copy in my web page for you, or anyone else, you can get it all from my site in the sig, click on that and when you can see me & the missus, add lathe-stf/ to the browsers address bar and ENTER. You should then see another subdir named GO704-5i25-7i76/, click on that and help yourself, that is a copy on the config dir for my GO704. The main GO704-5i25-7i76.hal contains this counter. Copy it, fix the missing addf's etc. I used halshow's command line to reset it for each run, and a halmeter to read what it said. When reset, it counts indexes from the third to the 103rd, for any axis you feed it from that has an encoder, so divide what the halmeter says when it stops counting to get the actual number of pulses for one turn, divide by 100. I hope this is helpfull, Lester Stay well and safe. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
