General Mach Discussion / CNC4PC C6 Spindle Control Problem - Mystified!
« on: March 09, 2011, 10:32:07 PM »
Hi All,
I just purchased a CNC4PC C6 spindle control board. Everything is hooked up ok, and I can operate the spindle (turn on/off, increase/decrease speed) using the "Spindle CW F5" button, and the + / - buttons. The CW Relay clicks, voltage increases up and down (0-10v) just fine.
However, it just wont work when using the MDI input, or commands from a program file. The relay wont click, and voltage wont change. Typing "M03 S500" doesn't do anything. I tried disabling the spindle CW/CCW relays, and setting them to be the Flood/Mist relays instead, and I could activate/deactivate them using the M7, M8, M9 commands.
Everything appears to be setup & enabled correctly. Like I said the spindle control buttons work 100% fine, and all other codes work fine (from programs or MDI - G0/G1 moves etc) - Just not spindle related ones.
Just updated Mach to the latest R3.043.022 "Lockdown" version, but the problem persists.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers!
