General Mach Discussion / Setting spindle speed

« on: December 29, 2014, 05:47:16 AM »

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but just could not find this...

I have a spindle controlled by mach 3 through a VFD, which works fine. I want to be able to start the spindle from a pendant (xbox controller) But I cant figure out how to do this without typing in a spindle speed via the keyboard. Once I have typed a speed in it can be varied from the pendant and stopped and started. But I dont want to have to do this every time. Can anyone help please?
