General Mach Discussion / spindle pin
« on: January 31, 2011, 07:56:39 AM »
hi there,
i am new here as i just started with mach3. i got my diy-router working and so far i am happy. i have a question:
i have a nice parallel breakout board from cnc-profi.de. on the board i can connect a spindle on pin 1 (230V 10A). i have a proxon mill motor on my router and so i would like to connect it to pin1 so that it starts the motor and stopps the motor. my question is - how do i setup this in mach3. i found under "pins and ports" and "motor outputs" that there is "spindle" but it shows me that this is a stepper motor which i don´t have. just to make clear: i just have a mill motor that runs with the speed i set on the power supply - it just needs to be switched on or off.
i would be glad if someone could help me with this. thank you in advance.
