Spindle not rotating?
First off lets just pretend I dont know jack about CNC/Mach3 as I just started my journey! However I am no dummy haha
My issue is this, I have built my first machine which I use for pool cues (X/Y/Z/A-Spindle) I only run two profiles in Mach one for inlays (XYZA A being for indexing rotation) and a Tapering profile where A switches to a spindle job just to turn wood stock (no high RPM and yes I am using a stepper to spin) problem is I can't get the stepper to spin in tapering mode as a spindle. Everything works in the Inlay profile, and in tapering I can disengage the spindle and reactivate A and turn it with a hotkey fine. I have confirmed my settings with others that run the same setup and they all seem to match.
If you have any ideas please feel free to dumb them up a bit! Haha

Re: Spindle not rotating?
Also the only thing checked active on the input/output/encoder is e-stop
As I was told and shown by everyone that is correct for this simple setup?
I am running windows 10, smoothstepper, Xylotex
Re: Spindle not rotating?
What does your g-code look like? Do you have an M3, and an S### in it?
