Title: Mach3 did not start router spindle automatic using SSR relay
Post by: Ubaidali on August 07, 2018, 12:53:15 PM

I've been trying to get Mach3 to stop/start my router through a BOB connected through pin 17 to a SSR. I have the spindle relays activated and output 1 set to the proper port and pin.  I can get it to toggle on and off with the F5 key and with the spindle button.  When I try to run G Code command M3S20000 or M5 nothing happens. I have also tried to enter M3 and M5 in the diagnostic screen with no results.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You likely don’t have the M codes assigned to pin 17. F5 works because it is assigned to the spindle by Mach
