Hello CNCmakers Support, When we run a program the spindle starts turning, but when the program comes to G1, we get a error that says “spindle speed is zero”. Is that because our lathe has no output to tell the controller the spindle is on? Can I connect a pin to tell the controller the spindle is on? Can I run a pin to the VFD? I am feeling a bit stupid at this point… Thank you for all your help.

 

CNCmakers support:

Please kindly check if there is G99 in the program, if yes, please remove it.

And then please put G98 at the beginning of the program.
