    CNC dust collector not powering on

    We have had a ez-Router for about 10 years now the other day the computer died from lack of maintenance in a dusty environment. Lone Star who sells the router and PC sent us a new PC. Plugged it in (what happened to plug and play?)and the dust collector won't kick on though the software tells me it's running. The software is Mach with V carve. Went into the congig menu and made sure the outputs were set correctly at least I believe they are. The spindle spins up and the vacuum bed kicks on but not the dust collector. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    There's probably a relay that's supposed to switch the dust collector on, responding to a low-voltage signal from the computer. That might not be functioning correctly. Check the connections, then the relay itself.

    I agree with QWERTY, get a multimeter and determine if the ready is clicking or getting the low signal to click on
