Hi Andrew, I thought I would try this on my Pi4 to 7i92H to AC Servo Spindle with step/dir and Quadrature Encoder. Given I have step/dir and quad encoder this should be a no brainer.
Using the information from here: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m19 I added the ORIENT_OFFSET under the [RS274NGC] section but if I issue M19 R180 Q5 P0 $0 all I get is "wait for orient complete: TIMED OUT" Error. The problem, as usual for me anyway is the doc link above is like learning a new language having only the native language dictionary available. Doesn't help much for grammar or sentence structure. So although the doc shows what spindle.0.___ are used for HAL pins I don't know how to go further with this. The spindle.0.orient-angle is set to 180. Orient-fault is 0, but is-oriented is also 0. Maybe your HAL file can help and then as I try and figure this out it may help you?
