rigid tapping g33.1 isnt working spindle isnt sync

Hi Big John I follow the link and follow the instructions on the little website And tried to unlink the hal commands and keep getting an error I can't seem to unlink anything

hi andy im not sure how it should look or if I would even be able to line up index and get it to light in the hal config window. if its supposed to stay lit its not working its not even blinking as I rotate it by hand. i don't think its working

If you set up a HAL meter on it (Machine->Halmeter) then you should see it go "true" briefly when you start a G33.1 then "False" when the encoder sees the index.

You may miss the transition, and Halscope might be better.

big john ive tried all of these and get the same error

unlink motion.spindle-index-enable
unlink motion.spindle-index-enable hm2_5i20.encoder.04.index-enable
unlink hm2_5i20.encoder.04.index-enable
unlink spindle-index-enable motion.spindle-index-enable
unlink spindle-index-enable motion.spindle-index-enable hm2_5i20.encoder.04.index-enable

all get the same error

woo hoo thanks andy. ok so i tried the hal meter it definetly started off false and as i rotated the spindle by hand, vfd powered off, i got it to go true then false again.

so i know my index is being read but i must have it hooked up wrong hmmm
