I am trying to figure out how to get the spindle going with my breakout board and running properly in Mach3.
The board is a KLDB25.
The spindle is a SunFar E300.
What is the best way to physically connect and also how to setup in Mach3?
Thanks!
I attached pics & manual
Get a different board.
You want one like this 5 axis one below.
The one you have is unsuitable for pwm output for a spindle drive.

Is that one available in the USA, preferably on ebay?
It should be. EBay is full of them.Quote:

May be one on srepperomline but at higher price.
If you do get the 5 axis one. First of all it will need 2 power sources.
1* at 5v for stepper/servo outputs and 1* at 12-24v to run the inputs and spindle analog/relay.
In Mach > motor outputs > spindle > step=P1, Dir=P0, port1.
Step is for the analog 0-10v on the right hand side. Takes its power from the 12-24v.
If it's at 10v when spindle should be off and 0v at full rpm, this can be reversed with active liw/high change on step pin.
Use pin17 port1 on one of the 'general outputs' to operate the onboard relay and assign that to M3 relay control for direction/ vfd FWD. Assign a 0 to M4 relay.
If you assign P17 to both M3/M4 or have P17 on motor outputs dir pin the relay can glitch. Common mistake people make.
If relay is 'glitchy' then assign a false output to M4 and make sure spindle dir pin is at 0 to be sure M3 goes on/off and stays on/off.
eBay or Amazon has them, this one is on Amazon free delivery $25.99 there are cheaper ones some of these Boards which may have no terminal markings as to what the inputs and outputs areQuote:

I got this one...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174725161345
looks like it converts 5vdc from the USB port for step/dir axis signals.... then it also has 12-24v input for the 0-10v spindle output.
Then I ordered one of these:

Chose the 24v 2A model
Should be everything I need I hope... yes?
ok so the card arrived and I hooked everything up.
The XYZ and A motors all work great... but the spindle does nothing.
I changed the VFD setting F0.0 from 4 to 1 (from 'ext terminal' to '0-10v input')
Card is being powered by 24v
Spindle VFD Wiring:
AVI on card to AI on VFD
10v on card to 10v on VFD
ACM on card to CM on VFD
Mach3 Settings:
config -> ports&pins -> spindle setup:
Disable spindle relays = unchecked
clockwise M3 output# = 1
use spindle motor output = checked
pwm control = checked
config -> ports&pins -> motor output:
spindle = enabled
step pin = 1
dir pin = 0
step port = 1
dir port = 1
config -> ports&pins -> output signals:
Output #1 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 1
Output #2 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 2
Output #3 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 3
Output #4 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 4
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, please help!
