General Mach Discussion / Re: CNC4PC C11G Analog Output Spindle Control

Thanks all for the help, it looks like I am going to need to mess with it a significant amount of time to get things up and running, that is the way these home-made machines go :-)
Pete, are you referring to the coolant pump wiring? If so one of the relays on the C11G should do the trick per GrandMasterB, but note the rated contact current and voltage. Is your coolant pump AC? If so and you are using the relays for something else you can get solid state relays for switching AC loads that are reasonably cheap, and the input will operate off of the 5V from the bob and you can switch 110-240VAC depending on what relay you get.
Hope that helps,
Dustin
