My controller is nearly complete, and I can’t be happier with how easy this has been compared to my last Mach3 build!
It is a lathe with geared spindle which I will use for a while, then move to VFD.
So I want to have a manual spindle, and switch on via relay, and same for coolant.
I wired coolant to relays 1+8, expecting both to fire from relay 1. But I only get a single relay to respond.
Does this sound like it should work?
I don’t see anything in the Wizard about multiple relays.

Re: Relay Question
Rob..
(Example)
Set spindle FWD to relay 1
Set spindle REV to relay 2
Set Flood to relay 8
Set coolant to auto
Add "M8" to M3.mac
