with a relay can I tell it how far to move.

I still need it to move to certain positions ie, 0 180 90 270 degree, will I have a reading in the dro? for the angle.

Like the relay that is on my board, that just turns on and off a spindle?

General Mach Discussion / DC Motor as Rotational axis

I have a DC motor that I would like to run as a 4th axis Rotational. This is not for speed. It is to rotate stock.  It has a gear box with a 660 to 1 ratio.  nice and slow.  How do I get Mach to run it as an axis? the motor has 3 wires one for each direction of movement and another that does nothing. I assume it is another ground of some sort.

Is there any way I can use this, to index. like a 4th axis?

• Relay spindle interface - Outputs Max. 36V 7.5A for spindle motors or coolant pump (only one
device can be powered by this output!)

So does this mean it will put out 36v to run the spindle. or just its max input.

So is it just a relay? Or should it put out voltage to the motor? It puts out voltage to the stepper motors. xyz. axis.

OK it beeps when I do that V+ to V-  and turns back off.
