    Red face Grbl - Arduino - Brushless spindle PWS

    I am currently in the process of ordering/researching my first CNC engraving/milling machine. I have built and run various DIY 3D printing setups but this is the first time I have looked at things of a spindly nature! I'm very much a hobbyist and wanted something simple that would allow me to both tinker and learn with but that said I find myself in need of some help and advice.

    I have decided to start with Grbl on an Arduino Uno and DM542 Stepper Motor Drivers.

    This part I feel happy with but it is the Spindle side of things that I am unsure about. I would like to control the spindle speed through PWM and I wanted to know if connecting a PWM to Voltage Converter Module would function in tandem with a WS55-220 Brushless DC Motor Driver and 500w Brusless motor?

    I haven't included any power input information as I feel that is for another discussion (or set of questions!) I really just wanted to know if I was on the right lines or way off in my understanding. Any help and opinions would be gratefully received - but please be gentle

    Default Re: Grbl - Arduino - Brushless spindle PWS

    Ok, I'm assuming that my original post was so far off regarding the compatibility of a PWM to voltage converter module - WS55-220 Brushless DC Motor Drive - 500w brushed spindle that no one wanted to tell me how stupid I was being? So I'm back for another go.......

    Would I be correct in thinking that I could use an Arduino Uno with a PWM to voltage converter module with a brushed 500w spindle to achieve PWM control through Grbl? Apologise in advance for the state of the attached image!
