Spindle scaling factor

I don't see any attachment in the new thread... comment out any offending lines and run your config then open up the show hal configuration window then see what type the analogout pin is.

What error do you get when you try to set the scalemax to 400 or 400.0?

The problem here is that that is a parameter, not a HAL pin. You can use "setp" to set the value of both HAL pins and Parameters, but only pins can be linked together in HAL.
It is not possible to do what you want to do in the way that you have been trying to do it.
You have probably already spotted that the HAL "gearchange" component (www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/gearchange.9.html) is not suitable if you have more than 2 gears.
There are a couple of multi-gear components in this email thread:

But you would need to compile/install them yourself using "comp". (Though that isn't very difficult)

How can I get your gearchange component? I'd like to try it too, but I'm not so good with the patches...

Forget mine, I gave up on it. It seemed to be impossible to get it accepted.
