I have developed a simple way to bypass the MC60 motor controller requiring returning to zero speed before starting.
Simply place a 100uF/50v cap between the black and white terminals with the negative leg on the black.
The cap acts as a temporary short, simulating turning the speed to zero. Now you can set the speed, turn it off, turn it back on without changing the speed setting.
My next project is to control the MC60 from a 0-10v spindle speed signal like from Mach3. I have the parts, just have to build it and test it. It is an opto isolated linear amplifier taking 0-10V signal from a paralell break out up to 0-18.8v expected on the potentiometer wiper input on the MC60 controller.
