Nice workaround, but the problem that #25102 is always -1 is not solved.

On my lathe #25108 is working fine with the Index from the spindle encoder.

Since you also have a working encoder now, can you test if #25108 is set to a value other than -1 after one turn of the spindle?

Hi Uwe, good Point. I checked it and 25108 is working as supposed, all other axis are always -1.

In this case it looks like Acorn6 is handling the encoder input if a scale is setup for an axis differently opposed to a rotary encoder for the spindle.

It would be nice if someone from Centroid could check this out.
