Any idea on the set up to regain control of the spindle? I have it set to pin 1 port 1 but what do I need to clik on the spindle set up to make the motor stop running continusly? I have the

PWM control checked
and disable spindle relays checked.


Is there anything else?

Yes I got the pin out from the ftp site and I confirmed it with Dawson over at maxnc. I have been messing around with this for 2 days now and I cant get  any axsis to move. I cant even get a peep out of the motors. But when I switch back to the Maxnc conrtoll software it works fine. Do i have to turn a driver on or is it automatic?

HI
Just got a Maxnc 15cl and i am trying to set it up. I have been using Mach3 to mess around until the machine came in. I used the Maxnc software and I am able to jog the machine. But when I configure Mach 3 I get nothing. Well not nothing the spindle spins up when I try to jog. I have selected the Maxnc cl in the options and I have also assigned the motors per the port assignments provided by Maxnc. I get nothing either way. I am able to assign limit switches and I can see those work but nothing on motor control even though Mach3 thinks the motors are turning. Any help would be great.
