General Mach Discussion / Re: S code problem

No Help. Spindle Dir was 0. MinPWM was 0, now 5. I did notice ( maybe it was always there) but lower left corner. Under Spindle speed a yellow bar was flashing. I clicked on Spindle CW F5 and then the yellow  bar and it quit but as soon as I coded another code it was flashing again

Okay, that didnt do any thing one way or the other. I had the machine in manual control. When I switched it back to CNC mach3 I had no rotation at all with a S code. I will add the changing codes for spindle control. I really feal the problem is in this code

I am a electronics dummy but I believe you mean the gecko G540. I sent pics to Dan and he checked things and had me up date 5 wires and change settings in the configuration. Every thing worked but the S code and of course Dan can't keep messing with me

General Mach Discussion / S code problem

« on: September 16, 2012, 01:55:38 PM »

I am Johnny , , I bought a shopmaster patriot. Dan helped me up date a few things but we could never get the S code to work. No mater what S### you use, it runs 500. Dan tried to help me on the phone but we didn't get it done and of course his time is quite valueable. Any help would be a good thing.

My name is Johnny and I was a millwrite till I retired the first time (on my 3rd now) I bought a shopmaster and decided to learn how its done. So far it has been interesting to say the least. I have had a few alignment problems but mostly it works okay. Dam Mauch helped me up date it with some wiring changes but I still have only manual speed control. If I code S200 it runs 500, if I code S anything it runs 500. I was wondering, , Is this because its unlicensed and still demo.
