I am about to start an upgrade to my system and am wondering if anyone has already done this and has some pointers, or better yet, a detailed how-to.
I have a mini mill that's using a G540 controller run by the current version of EMC. For spindle control, I'm already doing spindle on/off through EMC with a relay. I would like to add the ability to control RPM as well. My spindle is currently controlled through a pot connected to the P1,P2,P3 ports of the speed control board and a hard switch for direction. I've heard/read that the physical hook up is easy but I'm wondering about what I have to do in EMC (Hal and such) to send the right signals to the G540 to make it, in turn, send the right signals to the speed control board. I'm just starting to explore this option and any constructive input would be greatly appreciated.
