Modbus spindle control questions...

[Matospeter]

We actually did have it on port 0 before he got it redone with the new brains.  I have not desires to run a smoothstepper or anything else on this machine other than what is already here as it works great now. The only additions will be a fourth axis as well as other inputs and outputs for a future power drawbar etc...   It is still working great and my settings I have tweaked a bit. It now reverses super fast and I am optimistic my spindle will be able to tap even better than it did before.  I am very pleased...  Now I just gotta finish that power drawbar I was working on. Damn computers, takes me away from what I really want to do...haha peace

I moved it over to port 0 on my side and it worked fie and is safer like mentioned.  Since it's really not used from the port or modbus other than looking at logic calls in the brain it doesn't matter other than it may conflict down the road later and cause issues.  Port Zero will not cause any issues later so it's safer.
