The Hankook lathe spindle has a separate oil pump which has to be started when the spindle command is called.
Is there a piece of code that I can include in the SpindleMach3.c file to enable the relay which starts the pump?
The relays are 24V DC.

Hi Ross,
Yes. Just add something like SetBit(152); or ClearBit(152); to drive a FET Relay Driver.
into the EX_SPINON and EX_SPINOFF cases of your Mach Spindle program.

Thanks Tom,
We will need some diodes to do that, and the spindle enable.
And I will have to delve into the C programming again :(
We have the machine up and running and I did a first cut with it today.
Although we had to enable that pump with jumpers and I ran the spindle
via a DAC command, I was able to do a bit of machining using the
handwheels and the Mach3 DROs.
We should be able to start on the threading soon :)
