Re: Beginners

Hi Tom, Thank you for your feedback. Apologies, what do you mean the 5V and Rx are wrong, how should they be? I have the DC power connected through the relay to and then the relay to the motor controller. The spindle uses a 7.5V DC motor supply. I found further info on the relay. Please see below an...
