Title: Pokeys 57 cnc and Mach 4 spindle speed not working
Post by: wildboaresn on November 16, 2015, 11:34:47 AM

I would really appreciate a little poke in the right direction on this.
The problem I am having is that I can not for the life of me figure out how to get Mach 4 to display my spindle rpm. I can see that mach/pokeys is seeing the spindle index pulse on the diagnostics page but I have no idea how to get this information displayed on the 'current spindle rpm' dro. I'm sure its something really simple but I have no idea what I'm missing.
The setup I'm using is a pokeys 57cnc and I'm feeding a digital pulse to it from an arduino (this is a simple test setup so that I can see that mach is seeing the index pulse).
many thanks for looking and any advice you may have.

Do you have the latest PoKeys firmware and PoKeys plugin for Mach4?
In the plugin (under Pulse engine options) there is an option to enable spindle speed measurement.
