New Z1+ on the way, how can I switch the spindle on/off using an SSR.
Hi,
I'm currently waiting for the delivery of my Workbee Z1+ 750mm x 750mm.
I also own a Workbee 1510 that I've converted to a screw drive and it has been as solid as a rock, the controller for this is the excellent Openbuilds Black Box and controlling the spindle is very easy using the tool output connections then using a solid state relay to control spindle and extraction when I start a program.
I've been looking around and am I right in thinking that I can use either one of the heated bed outputs or a spare fan output for the tool on/off, +5 volts or VIN to the SSR, I've not used a duet controller so it's going to be another learning curve and reading up it seems this controller is very good but not quite as simple to use as the blackbox.
Thanks for any help.
Is this a worthwhile discussion?
