Hi Hood
Thanks for that  I was thinking of using a totally separate power supply and some opto isolators for a circuit. I think I will go down that road now.

PS I switched off the limits  in Mach 3 and the router works like a dream.

General Mach Discussion / limits tripping

Hi all I have got a problem I hope you can help with. I can run my CNC router with Mach3 without a problem without the spindle running but when I wind up the spindle the emergancy stop comes on and Mach3 says that a limit switch has been actuated. but none of the lights in the diagnostics screen come on. I think it is due to electrical noise. Anyone had this problem.

LazyCam (Beta) / Newbie needs help please

Hi All
This is my first post here so please be gentle. I am just starting out in CNC and have built a gantry type router. I have downloaded Mach3 and lazy cam.
I have  the router working with Mach3 using their sample Gcode files. But I have a problem with lazy cam. I create a Drawing in Turbocad (V14) and save it as a DWF. but when I try to open it in lazy cam I get
 
loading complete
applying option filters
Duplicate entry removal
No entities found
File loaded

and no picture of my dwf

Can anyone help please
