link works,it looks very fast I will test new release of Darwin in a couple of hour's. I still have problem with macros I have to delete M3, M4, M5 before i can get the spindle to run from code or MDI.

Its set to 50, min spindle is 5000 max is 26000 its a rebuild emco pc mill 30 with a g540 and super pid.
it works really well in M3.
it could be my computer causing this problem I am going to do a reinstall M4 1936 as some of the other problems I was having have disapeard it will be something simple.

art I have set everything the way you suggested the only speeds I can do is 5000rpm if the pwm is set to 50, or 29000 if its set to 10 and different speeds in-between if I change the PWM rate.
I typed in to the mdi M3S5000 all the way to M3S26000 with out a speed change.
I have changed all the settings around to different settings too I was blue in the faces with out anything working properly.
and I have to have the pulse rate set to 19000 so the balls don't turn into sand LOL.

found the problem with spindle the speed sensor has to be in the correct position for it to work did not check this before as don't have this problem with M3 speed changing is still a problem

its all set and connected properly same as in m3 I have tried a lot of different settings it just wont change speed I can make it change speed by changing the pwm value I set, everything is set according to the g540 / superpid manual. if its set wrong it comes up with pot instead of pwm so you know straight away if its set wrong

art i have found out what is causing the spindle to not run properly its not getting a variable pwm signal what ever I set the pwm to that's all it gets. I tested it with M3 there is nothing wrong with the superpid or G540 it all works with M3.
so what's causing this problem god only knows.
also when running the roadrunner g code file the machine is run at 90 - 100% when not doing anything its between 0- 15%.
post version 1900 this does not happen

yea its a conflict between the macros if i remove the m3 from the macro folder some of the problems go but it still wont change speeds just on off ill connect a pot to the super pid so I can a least cut something

hay art the new release fix up the problem with my machine needing a very low pulse rate.
the problem I am having with the spindle its a problem with the computer and M4 nothing to do with Darwin, part of the problem exists when I don't have Darwin on the computer.
its the only problem I have everything else works well.

set at 40 kHz it sounds like i have sand in my ball screws.
changed it down to 15 kHz it was bad, set its to 20 kHz its smoothie as a baby's bum.
I did a complete reinstall of M4 and Darwin to see if it was something to do with older version of M4 or Darwin it was not that.
its not a problem just some thing to be aware off probable only something to with my win xp computer or win xp computers.
still can not get spindle to work with M4 only can do on or off its not that much of a problem as I can do manual speed control. will play more when I have time.
