What I do know is that in the stepconfig wizard there is a requirement for 98% spindle speed set and I am guessing that this is well exceeded.
And WRT the direction of counting is it actually possible to determine direction without a third set of sensors ?

Other than that the the above is pretty much unfathomable to me.
My problem is that I am trying to make a machine work in order to give myself a threading function. and until weeks ago I had never even seem Linux cnc.
I will never ever become fluent in it so I really need someone to lead me by the hand here

I have looked at the text file provided by that link but have to admit it has lost me
I see that you have also posted on the linuxcnc forum.

Once you have used stepconf then you have to hand edit the files as stepconf will overwrite them

The zipped up file I posted is my working config (I think you have a different tool changer) to view the file you have have to rename it by removing the "txt" from the end and then unzip it.

As have been asked on the other forum it would help to post your hal and ini files
