General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle speed control

It is a 0-5vdc the drive is looking for not a 0-10vdc so I assume I need something to convert the signal.  I could pull the drive and see if there is any more info, but that's all the doc I got with the unit.

General Mach Discussion / Spindle speed control

« on: May 29, 2013, 08:16:53 AM »

I got quick help last time so here's another one.  My board outputs a 0-10vdc signal for spindle speed control, what do I need to get to convert it to replace the existing speed pot on the drive? Here is the drive specs.
Thanks,

OK, I guess I need to do a little more research because I haven't a clue where to start with that.  I never did anything with marcos and just use the program as is.
Thanks,

General Mach Discussion / tool request light

« on: May 25, 2013, 03:04:10 PM »

I do manual tool changes and use the m06 code and in general config have it stop spindle and wait for restart.  All that works great but how to I either edit the macro to turn on an output to add a tool requested light like the one that flashing on the screen?  I need a remote light and have a few extra outputs available on my breakout board.  Or if easier is there a m code the turns on outputs or can I make one?
Thanks,
Don
