<Begin stupid comment> Since timeout is caused by the Q value, what happens if you mess with various values for Q?
<End stupid Comment> Martin 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.
