Turn off Spindle

[Stephen50]

I own a Shopbot Desktop and plan on cutting vinyl and mylar what is the process to modify the software to turn off the spindle?

Look at the S0 command

I did this a while back in order to have my dust collector and spindle turn on and off using the SO command. I purchased 2 of these relays

From there I edited my post processor to initiate the commands before and after each partfile. Worked out great for me.

The code to turn the spindle off/on on a shopbot desktop is:


so, 1, 0 is off
so,1,1 is on

For Marc,

can you give more detail on how this kit is wired in and integrated to your shopbot?

Does it work with the so commands also which would mean it is wired into the shopbot relays..

Thanks

Bob
