The "spindle" component (and the similar "gearbox", "gearshift" and "gearchange") component handle the task of converting spindle.0.speed-out-xxx into a motor speed to send to the VFD. So the answer to your question is that you use both. To avoid pin name collisions I think that you would have to use "names=spindlecomp gears=3" when you load the component. We might have to change the name of the HAL component, at the moment both the component and the motion comp create spindle.0.at-speed, and probably other clashes too. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
