Good day all;
I have a warp9 smoothstepper installed on my router and is working fine, I am in the process of replacing the router with a Chinese water cooled spindle with an inverter, and with cnc4pc c6 speed control board. I am having problems getting the 10 volts at the board output. Is there anything in the smoothstepper that needs to be cinfigured.
I have the ports and pins configured, and spindle motor active and configured for step/dir, but no 10VDC.

Your help is allways appreciated

Yes, you will have to choose which method of operation the spindle uses, ie PWM or Step/Dir

Thanks again Hood.
I checked that, and the step/dir was not checked, but everything else was right.
But, it still doesn't work.
If I send you an xml file, can you see what is missing. I am at my wits end.
How do you attach an file?

I can have a look, to attach the xml you use the additional options button on the reply page and then browse to the file on your drive. You will more than likely  need to rename the xml first, so copy it to your desktop and rename to something like Toad.xml

 Although I have never set up a spindle other than a true Step/Dir spindle, your xml looks to be configured correctly.
