Hi All, Setting up Mach3 on a mini 5axis mill. Have the axis, homes, outputs working. Moving on to the spindle with PWM control, the spindle works from the Diagnostics screen but when I try from the Program and MDI screens it will not turn on. Screenset is the six axis, but have tried the default screenset also with same results. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
If the spindle works by toggling the Spindle button on the Mach3 screen, but not when you type M3 in the MDI window, have a look at what is in the M3 macro located in the macro directory for the profile you are using.
Cheers
Peter

Also check that the pin being used for the PWM output is not also assigned to another function.

Thanks Peter, updating the macros fixed it.
I thought setting up the spindle output pins would update the macro - guess not.
Next step is spindle feedback and axis calibration

Good to hear.
