Re: Connecting a spindle motor to mk3/4 board and controlling via planet software
You should connect output pins* of Mk3/4 controller with control inputs of your spindle driver.
Output pin* configuration in CNC USB controller software: File/Settings/Output/Spindle&Coolant:
ON/OFF -> Set to Pin 1
Direction -> Set to Pin 2
Speed (PWM option enabled below) -> Usually pin 6
Based on the pictures that you have attached:
MOTOR +- is where you connect your spindle motor
Power+- is where you connect power supply for spindle driver.
You should connect PWM pin from controller to 0-5V input of spindle driver unit.
Check if +5V input of this unit is for motor enable (meant as ON/OFF)
It would be very helpful to have any user manual of this unit.
