Hey guys!!! Its DONE!!! Yippiee! The spindle is happly being
controlled via M03 and M05 codes!! My brother did it again! Thanks
Zaig!! The schematic for the board that he made me will be posted
very soon and I will let you guys know, all the parts can be bought
at radio shack. If someone wants a board made for them he can and it
will be $50. The board he made (and you can also) has output for
direction of the switch, LED to tell that the motor is on, and an
over ride switch case you don't wanna boot up the computer to turn on
the spindle!!
This board is really universal for any I/O that I can see. Overall it
consists of an opto-isolator and a relay that turns on and off
whatever your appling this board too. Bascially the problem that we
ran into with a relay is the computer only supplied 4.22volts at 2
mAmps. This is enough to run an LED but thats it. The board does need
12vots or so for the relay. The relay output is connected to I1 and
I2 on the sherline speed control. When connected the motor will turn
off.
Its done! and Like I said I will post the schematic soon!!!
YES!!!
here is a picture of the board.
