So If I Go to Spindle Setup in Mach3 and enable relays and set M8 Flood Output to #3.
Then in Output Signals I enable Output#3 and set it to Port1 Pin1. I should be getting a short to ground from position 6 on the G540 main terminal block?
Also because my power supply is 48V I am guessing I need to use a 48V relay?
Please let me know If I am on the right track here. |
I am prety sure that the relay will be 5v, not 48v, but I am sleepy. Check the manual to be sure. The rest of it sounds good. You will just put an M8 at the end of your code, a g4 p10 will give a ten second delay, the an M9 will unkey the mic. This way the damned thing won't be keyed the whole time untill you get there to shut it off.
