Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC and no response from M3

Hi Jon

Yes, the spindle will not be turned on untill a speed is commanded. If you
think about it, why turn it on if the speed is at zero (the default setting).

As far as sending an output via a DAC, the code has never been there as far
as I'm aware. Although it shouldn't be too difficult to add it once you have
decided on which DAC to use.

Regards, Paul.
