11 SPINDLE
This section goes through the wiring and configuration process for spindle integration with Mach3. The Apollo III
spindle control consists of a 0-10V analog signal for spindle speed and two relays (CW and CCW) for spindle
direction. Below the spindle terminals there are two LEDs for spindle forward (FWD) and reverse (REV). If these
LEDs turn on correctly, then the spindle is set up.
