Spindle¶
On start up Flex will see if the following items are in the SPINDLE_0 section of the ini file.
INCREMENT
MIN_FORWARD_VELOCITY
MAX_FORWARD_VELOCITY
If INCREMENT is not found Flex will look in the DISPLAY section for SPINDLE_INCREMENT and if not found will set the increment at 100 for spindle faster/slower control buttons.
Spindle Controls¶
The following QPushButtons control the spindle on/off direction and speed.
Description Object Name

A QSpinBox with the object name spindle_speed_sb controls the spindle speed.
If MIN_FORWARD_VELOCITY is found it will be used to set the QSpinBox minimum setting. If not found the minimum setting will be 0
If MAX_FORWARD_VELOCITY is found it will set the QSpinBox maximum setting. If not found the maximum setting will be 1000
INCREMENT will set the QSpinBox single step.
If a QLCDNumber named spindle_speed_0_lcd is found it will display the commanded spindle speed without any offsets.
