M2 will not turn off spindel

[Biggermens]

Hello everyone

I am running Mach 3, windows 10, ESS board, and CNC4PC C6 board with them Chinese VFD
Everything seams to be running fine so far but then i turn off spindle and it just idles down to the slowest it can go
i check the C6 board and i have 0.2V coming out of it
The spindle will stop if i hit escape
I did notice on the C6 board when you use M2 the relay is still on, when i hit escape the relay is off

Any ideas ??

Thanks

Maybe add a M5 before the M2?

I just tried that and it did not help


Thanks

Another thought, maybe use M30 instead of M2?

I have M30 at the end of my programs and it dos the same, the relay don't turn off until you hit escape

There's an option in General Config to stop spindle on program end or M30.

Yap i double checked that and its checked, still don't work

Could be a corrupt M5 macro, a corrupt .xml file, or a corrupt Mach3 install. I'd try replacing each one, in that order.

It could be, i now have bigger problems and tried to install Mach 4 all problems gone but that one is still there, I must be setting it up wrong, but i did what they say in the C6 directions
