General Mach Discussion / Spindle relay control is confiigured, but M3/M4 won't turn on the spindle...
« on: April 24, 2016, 07:20:45 PM »
I believe I have Mach3 set up for M3 control of port1 pin 1 controlling a spindle relay.
(screenshots attached)
I can make the relay click (pin 1 toggle) when I toggle Ports & Pins, Spindle Low Active check mark.
But M3 in Gcode does not turn on the spindle relay or pin 1 on the D25 connector.
Also, on the Diagnostics screen, the Spindle Toggle button makes the "Output Signals
current State" indicator for Output 1 go on and off, but pin 1 on the D25 does not
change state, no relay click.
Messing with the Ports & Pins settings for Spindle does click the spindle relay.
What am I missing?
Thanks, Jim
