After looking at pluto lathe and nist lathe configurations, I came up
with the following to add to the end of my m5i20 motion.hal file:
newsig spindle-index-enable bit
linkps motion.spindle-index-enable <=> spindle-index-enable
linksp spindle-index-enable <=> m5i20.0.enc-3-index
newsig spindle-p

I plan to use spindle speed control in my part programs. I also would
like to use the best spindle gear selection for the proper cutting speed
and to best utilize the horsepower I have available. If my part program
sets a spindle speed of 500RPM, how will EMC2 handle it if I'm in a gear
where
I'm retrofitting an Anilam lathe with EMC2. My spindle encoder is
connected to a shaft in the gearbox that rotates 1 turn for every 2
turns of the spindle. The encoder I have is 1000 line, should give 4000
counts per encoder revolution, 2000 counts per spindle revolution. The
potential probl

I have my X and Z axis working and my spindle drive is on the way. I
need to connect the spindle encoder so I can cut threads. I don't know
if I need to connected to the Mesa encoder inputs, general purpose
inputs, parallel port or what. On the Pluto-lathe configuration, it's
