rigid tapping g33.1 isnt working spindle isnt sync

Typing "halcmd show pin" in a terminal window will dump
all hal pins and their states (and you can of course re-direct this output list to a file)

Looking back I notice that the your index is not synchronized with the actual spindle (This is a very unusual setup so its not surprising that motion may not like what it sees) It may be the fact that motion spindle revs is not commensurate with the index operation causes a problem

hmmm ok what would you suggest to tie the index to the spindle cause the resent post of my hall I've deleted the gearchange. I'm leaving the gearbox in high gear which is 1:1 with the motor so as far as everyone is concerned the encoder might as well be mounted right to the spindle.

im heading out to make it hang lol and get the halcmd show pins

ok so im thinking Im using the wrong pins to do my spindle at speed comparison. should I use the motion.spindle-in and motion.spindle-out as a comparison? if so ill need to scale my hm2_5i20.00.encoder.04.velocity pin prior to hooking it up to motion.spindle-in

by the way I cant get halcmd show pins to work in the terminal window.

oh and just for reference I thought this was odd. maybe I'm wrong I thought hm2_5i20.0.encoder.04.velocity was supposed to float out revolutions per second and its not. its putting out a number that is exactly 1000 times to small it says 0.506 to 0.507 with a s500 m3 running
