Re: Help implementing spindle & coolent on/off

The PMDX-120 would be ideal for the application IF he does
use Master5 for software.

Caution is advised for those who wish to use EMC to run
steppers. The current structure of the EMC software will
not allow the misc. non-realtime I/O to be on the same
parallel port as the stepper drivers. This is expected
to be rectified, but at present it will prevent a nice
clean single parallel port setup using the PMDX-120 and
the current EMC software to run stepper motors or step
servos.
