I have a simple question. how do I turn on the router without starting a file on an alpha?
I would like to be able to turn it on and do a mx command, or my and not have to hit the green button every time.
Is there a way?

Kenneth,
I'm not at my machine, but I think that this should do what you want.
If you open the keypad, flip the #1 toggle and hit the start button, the spindle will turn on. At that point, you can enter a value in the keypad and click goto.
When your finished, be sure to flip the toggle off.

Kenneth...
also [alt] + [1] will toggle output 1.
If you want the spindle on without a move then [alt] + [4] must also be activated.
output 4 is activated when keyboard or any motion command is executed

Thanks.
I'm getting there, but not quite used to it.
I can toggle the 1 and 4 to make it run, but after a simple move it all shuts off again.
The keypad go to works pretty good.
I have most of it wired up, but am waiting on new pinions before I put it to work.
All of my old controls ran on 12 volts, so it took a little work to get all my exterior things turning on and off like I wanted.
