Re: Does Anyone Have This Control Box on their Chinese 6040 Router
Thank you. I did not realise they varied. I don't know much about electronics so please keep it simple :-).
Here are some pics.
Questions:
First, at the moment I am using the turn knob on the box to control the spindle and I would like to do better than that. I would at least like to get the run and stop buttons working on the front of the box and maybe control the spindle via Mach3?
Second, I would love a touch plate for setting the z axis?
Third, I got the spindle stuck in one spot when a part moved while the job was running and hit the stop button. What do these jambs do to my stepper motors? Everything seems fine though.

Would you be able to take some screen shots of the spindle setup in Mach3 please John?

just before I went on holiday I packed away the PC I use to run Mach3
so it may be a couple of days before I can set it up as if I had your control box and take screen grabs
for now
from a 6040 manual I down loaded I have saved a few pages to get you going
page8 note to setup VFD
page8.pdf
to setup mach3
lower half of page11 motor outputs - set up pin 1 to control spindle speed
page11.pdf
page 12

lover half of page 15 set pin 17 to control BOB relay to switch spindle on & off
