General Mach Discussion / Need spindle use the other M command ,not M3,M4 and M5 ,How to set up ?

« on: May 17, 2011, 10:45:20 AM »

 
   Dear Sir,
   I need the help, I know the spindle need the M command to rotate.
   M03 to rotate forward , M04 to rotate rev and M05 to stop.
   But I am building CNC plasma machine with both spindle and the machine torch of plasma on one Z-axis
   I know M03 is the command to open the fire torch and M05 is the command to close the torch fire also.
   Is it possible to use the other Mxx command to operate the spindle ?
    I don't want to use M03 and M05 both the spindle and the torch fire. I want to separate.
   How to set up ? Pls advise.

 I am little puzzled if I use pin 16 be output to control turn on /off the solenoid valve. How to know M8 and M9 commands come from pin 16 output ?
 How to set up ?
