Its a 0 to 35VDC power supply. The power supply has a dial to turn the volts up and down.
Right now I set the volts  turn on the power to the hotwire and then run the cut cycle.
I do not change the voltage very offten. On Off would be nice so it will shut off with code.

I got some input on this he told me  --Hotwire, use spindle out, on modbus or Pokeys for analog control, use any output pin for just straight on/off.

I do not know about modbus or pokeys?
Would this be the same as the spindle on off wireed with a relay setup?

I have a hobby cnc 4AUPCWHC rev4 driver board  with a microchip to control heat on off and heat up down. Will mach work with this?

If not or if someone has a good way to do this with mach please help.

thanks

Hi, Im Mark I live in San Diego California. I have have put together two cnc machines. The first one is a hot wire 12' x 3' for cutting EPS foam. The second is a router 15' x 6'. Im just getting started with Mach3 and the router. learning how to use the programs and the machines is all most as much fun as building them.
