Acc those drawings, the relay is controlled by pin 14's logic output. So your use of pin 4 is not getting anywhere near the relays coil. That is the first thing you need to change/fix. The next question then becomes, what sort of a spindle controller are you using? To "do it right" often demands a controller made to be remote controlled, and TBT if considering the re-use of the controller that came with a treadmill motor, its lack of finesse at being controlled is going to expose you to both dangerous voltages and a difficulty in adequately controlling it thats just not worth it. So what is the motor you wish to control? And what controller will you be using? There are available ways to do it that are designed to be controlled. But because there are also as many motor styles there are also controllers made for each style of motor. But they can't be mixed and miss-matched. [...] Stay well and safe, Dan.
