    X2 spindle control with C11

    For the past few days I have been trying to connect my CNC4PC C11 board to my X2 mill for spindle control. So far the only thing I seen to do is blow the fuse.
    Here is what I have done.

    *set voltage on C11 to 10v on the analog out
    *connect grnd to P3 and the 0-10v to P2
    *turn power on mill on turn controller on and puff!! blown fuse

    I have read several threads on here that say connect grnd to P2 some to P3 but P3 seems to be the correct one(or is it LOL)

    This I know is a simple connection but for some reason I just dont seem to "get it" Please any help would be appreciated as I am making the company that makes fuses alot of cash LOL

    I could be wrong, but I believe one of those is going to have to be connected to P2 (Wiper).

    P1 - High
    P2 - Wiper
    P3 - Low

    So I believe you have it backwards. P3 should be connected to the reference voltage and P2 should be the ground.

    I have noted that some P1, P2 & P3 configurations differ from pot to pot. The above is what I've found listed on the cnc4pc website documentation.
