Moving the Step/Dir spindle control to another port. 7i80

I need to move teh spindle control (s/d) to another port J2 -> J3. The current stepgen on J3 is #04 and the stepgen on J3 port is #09.

I am under the assumption that I just need to change the HAL from every line that contains (board),0,stepgen,04 to (board)0,stepgen,09 and that should transfer everything over to port J3 ??

Am I close ??

Yes
( and you need to enable 10 stepgens )

OK I have seen that somewhere would it be in the HAL or INI file?

depends on how the files are structured
but it ends up in the "loadrt hm2_eth" command line

OK it is in teh INI files but there are 3 ini where I find it at do I change all three files ??

It can only be in one ini file
(at least only one that's actually used)

Actually there are 3 INIs in PathPilot.

Base.ini
mill.ini
specific_Mill.ini

That line is in all 3 so I will try updated all 3 to make sure I get teh right one. That was what I did to change out the Card Name and bit file. So far that part worked. I think they have a fallback system in place.

specific_mill.ini overrides the base.ini so you put all your customization's in that one

OK That worked I now have a spindle outout from J3 pin 14.

Thanks Guys, It is starting to make a little sense now. NEXT is teh spindle encoder
