Boy my Samsung phone doesn't format messages very well for this group. OK. So I'll ask again. If you'd done tapping or threading with LinuxCNC: 1. What resolution encoder are you using? 2. What is the BASIC_PERIOD? 3. What is the SERVO_PERIOD? Thanks John Dammeyer

Thanks Les. That's good to know. What's the resolution of your spindle encoder? How are you detecting this with LinuxCNC? A MESA card or PP? What's the BASE_PERIOD and the SERVO_PERIOD set in the INI file? Thanks John > -Original Message- > From: Les Newell

Hi Gene, But it's also been reported that with LinuxCNC it's possible to stop the spindle while still in Threading Mode and then turn the spindle by hand and the carriage will follow. This is of course on a lathe. Not something you'd do on a mill I think. The question then becomes what is

2021-02-05 Thread Les Newell
I just tried it on my lathe. I scratch cut a coarse pitch thread at low spindle speed then repeated the cut at about twice the spindle speed. I ended up with two distinct threads. The moral of the story is to make sure your spindle speed is stable before starting threading. Les

Granted this subject is a bit old I've now had some time to dive back into the TI F2837xD which has dual processors and other features that will make it a good test bed for trying out stuff. It has a hardware Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) so theoretically I should be able to grab
