    Spindle speed control and coolant pump

    Hi all,

    Soon I'll receive my Taig CNC(2018 ) with Xylotex Kit.

    How can I control my spindle speed with software (Mach2,TurboCNC) without changing the belt manually ?
    Can I do it using only my Xylotex board ?

    Also , If I have a coolant kit , how can I control it from the software as well?

    Thanks,
    Asi

    With a Xylotex only and no additional harware you probably can't. You can use one axis to drive a DigiSpeed board.

    With a relay on an output pin (this should help).

    CNCgr,

    Appreciate your help.
    As for the Digispeed , I have been told it won't work with my Original Taig motor :frown: .

    Thank for the "heads up" for the coolant kit. Now I have to learn some electronic.
