General Mach Discussion / Re: Need a little spindle encoder timing help
« on: December 18, 2007, 01:26:17 PM »
Here's a strange thing. I've been sitting here playing with my machine & trying different things in the spindle setup. I eventually got into a mode where I couldn't get the speed up to normal. I tried all the various tricks we've been discussing but no change. I eventually copied yesterday's latest xml file from the xmlbackups directory (MacTurn.xb99 in my case), renamed the current one in the root, and replaced it with the copy (suitably renamed). Ran up Mach again & all ok. No visible changes in the settings.
It's a useful thing to remember that when you save a setup, the old one goes into the backup directory.
I'm a bit concerned that things that I can't see are being stored. I suspect the spindle calibration data.
