Carbide motion spindle on

I updated arbide Motion and notice it has a Spindle on option “Button”
wondering if we are now able or are our friends at Carbide 3d are planning in near future to allow us to turn on and off our spindles from Carbide Motion???

this is currently used for the nomad, which has a spindle.

Thanks, was hoping…

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.
