For some reason my machine refuses to now get through POST with it's 2nd parallel port PCI card installed so I can no longer use the spindle at speed input on it (Card works fine in another machine so it's not the card). I've never done anything with HAL, and have used stepconf to generate the config files which was fine up until now. I know the ramp up and down time settings in the VFD so I'd like to fake the spindle speed and at speed settings in EMC.
I've tried putting the example in the docs (Spindle Control) into my custom.hal but I get the following error:
Code:
./custom.hal:14: Pin 'motion.spindle-speed-out' was already linked to signal 'spindle-cmd-rpm'
I tried replacing the pin name with the already existing signal name but then get:
Code:
./custom.hal:17: Pin 'scale.0.in' does not exist

I'm sure it's probably incredibly easy to someone who has done this before, but I can't make heads or tails of it and have spent ages playing with the custom.hal and stepconf generated .hal. Can anyone help me?
