configure plugin isn't on my main screen, plugin control is. When I click on it this is what appears:




That one at the bottom "analog output 1".
I actually don't know "value" meaning but check the "spindle" box and see if you get AO1 voltage when you enter a M3S speed.
If not it may need a "value" too.

Forgot, set up your pulley too.

Managed to have a quick check of mine earlier.

Go to:
Plugin control > "Analog output 1"
Tick the Spindle box.
Set value as "V".... For voltage!!

That should do it!!!!!!.

I have loads of pics of my confic and a shaky vid showing it all working via midi commands if you want a look.

PART 1>.........

So. I briefly set up my uc300eth for spindle/cool/analog controls. Wired directly to an optocoupler module and voltmeter and set up to mach3.
Plugin slightly different but similar to axbb-e. Both units are the 300eth chip controller.
My axis numbers and outputs will be different to yours but you know where you are with those.
1. connection.

connection.

2. My axis/spindle output numbers.

axis/spindle output numbers.

3. General Outputs. NOTE: They are set Active high. Active low setting switched my controls on by default.

General Outputs

4. Spindle settings for pwm/analog use. (3% min to restrict spin speed too low for spindle).

5. Pulley set for router type.

6. Open 'Plugin control'. (note is 300eth).

7. Plugin voltage setting for analog voltage pwm use. Check spindle check box, set value as V for Voltage.

8. Test run. M3S18000 command.

Test run. M3S18000 command

9. Test run success. CW light on opto module, Good Voltage reading on Voltmeter coming from Analog port 1.

Test run success

10. Input M5 to stop test.

Input M5 to stop test

11. Success. CW Light goes off and Analog voltage goes to 0v.

Success. Analog works


Hope this helps somehow.

Tested the other controls too and M4,M7,M8 all light up their connected optocouplers and I did a brief shaky vid of it.

Dazp1976, you are da man. My 24v relay was bad, I had a few more and put another one in and its up and spinning. Thank you for your knowledge, it is very much appreciated.

Eureka!.
That's awesome to hear mate :)
Got there in the end, I never considered a dodgy relay. I thought it was more to do with getting the analog going.
Just the fine tuning left to go :D


I got a bunch of spare relays from Aliexpress while I wasn't in a hurry for them:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003 ... WwbN4&mp=1
(just 1 example).
I get almost all my elec bits from there these days, you can get anything!. I live in UK so spare parts are really limited and they're sometimes 4 times the price.

Dazp1976, with the AXBBE can you jog multiple axis at the same time??
