Hi,
getting into the final stages of linuxcnc configuration on my Boxford VMC190 - its been quiet a journey of discovery, but got there with lots of reading, some help from great people on here and some trial and error.
The last issue was to get spindle speed feedback from an optical sensor reading one pulse per rev back into Linuxcnc
I have got this to work, kind of, but the speed is reading about 1/1000 of what it actually is doing i.e. an actual spindle speed of say 2000RPM (estimated by eye only) is displaying a spindle speed in Linuxcnc of 20
I'm thinking some sort of scaling is needed to bring the displayed value from 20 to 2000
I will grab the latest config files (ini / hal's etc) from the PC and post them tomorrow
ATB
