You're going to have to provide documentation for the specific spindle and breakout board you're using.
Even then, you'll need to find someone familiar with the specific hardware you'll be using. I think I've only seen one or two of those here.
Hello looking at buying a ATC Chinese
I would like to know how to wire it into the bob
how do the pneumatic controls, what are the correct Pressure Switch and solenoid valve to purchase.

im using a C32 - Dual Port Multifunction CNC Board [C32]from cnc4pc as my bob
CNC4PC
Spindle is not purchased yet...tring to figure out this puzzle.. before I order it.
This is what I have been able to come up with in my search, my background is not pneumatics so I need some help
clean shop dry air in (point 4)
Compressed air filtering 5um (point 5 in diagram)
Compressed air filtering 0.1um (point 6 in diagram)
Pressure regulator (point 7 in diagram)
Pressure Switch (point 8 in diagram)
5/2 Monostable solenoid valve, including connector coil etc (point 9 in diagram)
Question? how does this get wired into my bob
What are the i/o setting in mach?
I understand someone wrote some marco for the tool changes year ago.....anyone using them?
I found a video helps illustrate the 5/2 actuator assuming the spindle uses a dual action piston
I hope this helps others,
Im a little worried about what it said about the piston, "The cyclinder is double-acting: It must be kept under pressure to maintain the piston in the upper position, far from the rotating parts."
If I understood that correctly, then what happens if your compressor dies or suddenly loses air pressure in another way?
If I were you, I would implement some type of warning/shut down system for it. SOmething like a electric pressure monitoring relay/valve. If the pressure drops to one reading, it will sound an audible alarm or visual indication, if the pressure continues to drop, it will initiate a shutdown sequence for the spindle/machine. Saving your spindle in the even of a full pressure loss, allowing that piston to fall into the moving parts.
It should be pretty easy to do. There are pressure valves/relays on the market that can be purchased.
Commercial machines have a pressure switch in the E-Stop circuit, so the machine shuts down if air pressure is too low.
