Spindel problems in Gmoccapy

Edit spindel hal
# IMHO should be 1.0
setp stepgen.2.position-scale 1

tuned LM circuitry reading with halmeter commanded 200 to closest rpm that is approx 204rpm

So please tell me what to measure and with what instrument.

I think the missing link to the puzzle lies somwhere in your postguihal file. What you are missing is the hal pin connection of the spindle speed to the gui's spindle speed input pin.

net spindle-rpm gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar
net spindle-at-speed gmoccapy.spindle_at_speed_led

Spindle hal
net spindle-rpm abs.0.out

commanded 200 rpm
Spindle-rpm 204 rpm
Abs-in 204 rpm
Abs-out 204 rpm

Halmeter shows
0 on bar and False on LED
