Re: Unable to Set Spindle Speed via G-Code

Frankly, I'm surprised anything worked but at least you are now making progress. Why? Imagine trying to make sense of a phone call when you can only hear 1 word out of 3 in every other sentence and I'm not talking of selective hearing :mrgreen: I think you could also usefully tidy up / replace the w...

Re: Wizard Outputs List

Don't drag your OUTPUT5 out of the box and then try to drag in another. Simply drag your new Output setting into and over the top of the existing setting which will automatically remove the old setting. 1 single drag and drop instead of 2
