Can I use my the encoder in my spindle motor to provide
an actual RPM to display on the Kmotioncnc GUI?
On the GUI to the right of the big red "S" are 2 number
readouts, the top shows the commanded speed and currently
the bottom one just shows "0" when my machine is running.
Can this lower one display an actual speed calculated from
the encoder pulse tail?
Current configuration of the spindle
-Using the "DAC" option under the "S" menu in "Tool Setup
Screen".
-Scaled analog signal form KANALOG for frequency
-2 digital outputs for CW and CCW
- 500 count per revolution quadrature encoder connected to
differential encoder channel #3
At this time I am not needing this to be closed loop, but
if it didn't take much work I would not be opposed to
making the spindle closed loop.
