Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Reading spindle true RPM

I figuredit out in a very odd way.

Error gain value in PoKeys plugin setting was 256. I tried 64 and it worked. Then I restored it back to 256 and it worked too. Very weird. Must be a PoKeys bug.

Good idea. I better check my wiring.

Thanks.

Hi Craig,

Is this the one?

Hi Azalin,
I remember hat thread, it was a few years ago now, but no that is not the thread I was thinking of.

It's ok Craig.

This is really odd. I played with the numbers in both Mach4 and PoKeys. Nothing worked.

Edit: There is an encoder test screen in PoKeys config app. When I spin the spindle the spped calculation appears to be correct so I think the problem is in Mach4.

Hi,

Which parts in Mach4 I can check to see if I can fix?

At this stage, I don't know, I'm still trying to find the post about it. I'm hoping someone may remember and chime in.

I'm writing a module for my Arduino based pendant but it's just an external .lua file.
