    Default Need Help for PWM Spindle Configiguration for BL-USBMACH BB

    Hi,
    I am trying to access the PWM port of my breakout board for spindle control using BL-USBMACH. Everything is OK with the machine except the Spindle control using the PWM or VFD. If you have experience with the board, kindly let me have the MACH3 setting Pin#, Port# and other configuration to control the spindle.

    The board is attached.

    Thanks

    It would depend on you VFD you are using as to how it needs to be connected to the Breakout Board

    Thanks for your response. I could actually use either the VFD or the PWM from the controller by building a suitable driver for my DC motor.

    I just need a means of controlling the output from the VFD or PWM of the Board from mach3

    You don't have a VFD if you have a DC Motor

    Thanks a lot for your concern. Problem is partially solved

    i can now control my spindle from MACH3 software
    Spindle=Enabled
    Step Pin#=16
    Dir Pin#=1


    Is it possible to have a kind of feedback from a tacometer connected to my motor with MACH3?

    If you set up Mach3 using its PMW then you will have an approximate spindle speed that will show in the Mach3 window your spindle does not have any feed back so not much hope from that side to get any kind of speed indication from the spindle it's self

    This is exactly what I am trying to do. How did you wire the spindle to the board?
