Hi Guys:
One last small note. Im about ready to release what shoudl be a fairly good driver test using multiple slot wheels, this is a new mode specially
designed to take into account the problems we seem to be having on single slot, Ive come up with a new theory on controlling the speed more
dynamically and it should be possible to turn off the spindle, the Z will stop, turn it on again and the Z will accelerate up with the spindle.. if it all works.
Is there anyone with multislot capability that could test such a thing on the printer port.. All it will require is a special driver, standard Mach3 should
work fine with this new driver mode (Locked_Spindle_Sync_Mode).
The new algorithm should, if my theory holds :-), allow for a total stop of the spindle because it remembers the slowdowns and speedups. While it doesnt
correct for speedups, there is no way to do that, as long as the spindle doesnt go faster than it is going at time of initial G32 motion, the real position should be
remembered across the entire distance of the thread. within certain limitations of error.
Post if your capable of testing, all youll need is a multislot wheel, 90 slots will have a limit of perhaps 5000-6000RPM on the spindle, 180 slot woudl have a limitation
of 2500 - 3000RPM for synced speed by my numbers at 25Khz mode. A REAL encoder can be used, BUT youd be real limited unless its a low line count. A normal 2000 line count encoder woudl limit you to 60RPM for example .. and woudl require a special test build just for you.

Thx
