Servo (0x0056) and spindle (0x0040) meter records are 8 bytes:
[i32 value][u16 base][u16 exponent], the same self-describing envelope as the
position blocks.
Servo: offset 4 was read as a decimal count. It is the BASE (a steady 10), so
every load was divided by 10^10 and published ~0 -- the sister ignitionoee panel
read servo 0% on every axis of a Makino cutting at 20,000 rpm. Loads are now
value / base^exponent, a direct percentage.
Spindle: the raw meter is a 1/16384 fraction of full scale. Settled on the real
Z-34184 by regressing the type-1 meter against cnc_rddynamic2 spindle speed over
596..20,000 rpm (rpm = 1.220749 x meter; 16384 x 1.220749 = 20000.75). So:
- Spindle/{name}/Load publishes % of rated load (Float64; was the raw Int32
count -- a reading of 9155 meant 55.9%).
- Spindle/{name}/MaxRpm is RENAMED Spindle/{name}/MotorSpeedPct (Float64, % of
maximum speed) and is polled with Load. The old node was actively wrong: the
type-1 meter is the live motor speed, and it was read once at bootstrap and
served forever as if it were a max-RPM constant. Client-visible: FIXED: tags
on .../MaxRpm must be re-pointed.
- The spindle read no longer stops at the first zero after slot 1 (which dropped
an idle second spindle and kept non-zero residue); every slot is returned.
A record whose envelope is undescribable (base not 2/10, exponent > 18 -- e.g.
residue past the configured axis/spindle count) publishes BadNoData, never a Good 0.
Ported from the sister ignitionoee FOCAS driver v0.17.2/v0.17.3 (Focas.Wire-019);
live captures live-spmeter-{load,maxrpm}-0x0040.bin added as fixtures.
