Hi again,
So I've managed to set up my stuff just fine mostly. Only one thing is there which is the spindle setting. I want to use STEP/DIR to control the spindle.
I have set up the spindle control to step/dir, and then set the pins ( in Ports and Pins ) to 2 & 3 ( where the x-axis was connected ). However, nothing happens!
I cannot get the spindle to work. Even more annoyingly, the MPG (displayed on the screen ) is able to jog the 'x-axis' motor, even though I have disabled the x-axis in ports and pins and set those pins to 0. What is the actual concept of 'pin numbers' in Mach 3?
Edit: Now I am even more confused with this 'pin number' thing. When I set y-axis pins to 2 & 3, it doesn't respond to y-axis commands either! So are the pin numbers hard-wired to the particular axis?
