Carbide motion spindle on

Greg,

If you have a spindle motor it’s relatively simple to get the Shapeoko’s controller to start / stop it.

Check out this write up I did when I added mine (note the details vary a bit depending on the brand of spindle motor)

And if you just wanted to turn on/off a regular router, this would also be possible - just need to add an IoT relay switch, something like this:

You need to have a little electrical hands on experience - but it’s not overly complicated.

Maybe reach out to hold my beer @Luke and put in a request for a plug in accessory controller box.
