[SOLVED] QtDragon - Spindle at speed LED not working was created by karnalta
Hello all,
I have wired my VFD spindle at speed pin to the input 10 of my 7i96S mesa board.
The pin work correctly when monitored in HAL Show.
In my HAL file I have declared it like so :
I have wired my VFD spindle at speed pin to the input 10 of my 7i96S mesa board.

In my HAL file I have declared it like so :
net spindle-at-speed spindle.0.at-speed <= hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.input-10
But in the QtDragon UI, the At Speed LED turn on immediately at spindle startup.
I am probably missing something ?
Thank for help.

I think you need to
net spindle-at-speed => some-qtdragon-pin-for-at-speed
check the docs.

I was thinking as you but did not find anything here :I think you need to
net spindle-at-speed => some-qtdragon-pin-for-at-speed

Do you have a spindle speed feedback pin connected?
Qtdragon calculates spindle at speed it's self using spindle request and spindle feedback.
Can you post your config?

No I don't, my VFD is set to feedback a digital signal when at speed.Do you have a spindle speed feedback pin connected?

you can try this.
add the file into your config folder
add this line to the INI under the [DISPLAY] setting:
USER_COMMAND_FILE = CONFIGFOLDER/qtdragonrc.py
This should make the led automatically follow the pin spindle.0.at-speed state

Sorry yes dragon_hd has a different name for the led.
change all references of 'self.w.led_at_speed' to 'self.w.hal_led_atspeed'
change all references of 'self.w.led_at_speed' to 'self.w.hal_led_atspeed'

Yep, working fine nowSorry yes dragon_hd has a different name for the led.
change all references of 'self.w.led_at_speed' to 'self.w.hal_led_atspeed'
Thank you.
