Re: [Emc-users] Triggering an external relay from a BOB

My first guess is that the BoB can't source or sink enough current to energize the relay coil. But we have to know what exact relay, power supply, and BoB you have and exactly how they are all connected. Could you post a schematic? On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 5:33 PM Dan Henderson wrote: > >

Re: [Emc-users] Triggering an external relay from a BOB

Sorry about the last reply written before seeing the posted manual. As Gene points out it is "14" or "4". But also, my guess is you need to supply 5 volts to the board via either a power supply or a USB cable. One why to debug this is to but a voltmeter on the relay coil and toggle pin 14.

[Emc-users] Triggering an external relay from a BOB

Hello everyone, I have a simple question for you. I’m testing the ability to trip a simple 5v relay with an output pin from a 5 axis BOB and don’t seem to be having any luck. I have motion-spindle-reverse mapped to the output pin (04). Was expecting an M4 to go high on the mapped pin and trigger

Re: [Emc-users] Hal file naming conventions

I guess my biggest issue is I don't name the components themselves. Then when I try to describe what a signal is connecting it's connecting some terribly named thing, with another terribly named thing, so my signals end up not being very usefully named thing like SigNot2And27 or whatever
