It's not hard just setup the Output Number with the pin numbers your using on your Bob. Then in spindle setup for CW select the output # you used for M3.
Now when you push Torch on it will be like calling M3 which turns on output#.

Still can figure it out can you give me a bit more detail sorry

Has your BOB got a relay on it?

[whensparksfly]

No rely but has one fitted separately. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160511/724417c2f19f72ad7605b028dfd7e952.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160511/91174b84ab2e9749f00519798f431009.jpg

Hmm, the signal in to the relay is a green wire but all the BOB wires are white?

Somewhere, that relay should connect to one of the output pins on the BOB, lets call it PinX, in Ports & Pins you need to set output for spindle to X then in spindle settings set M03 CW & CCW to X as well.

I think that should do it.

No can't make it any clearer than that but I'll repeat it slightly different.

Select Output you want to use in ports n pins/Outputs and enter the pin number your using on the bob.
Next in spindle setup enter the Output # for CW M3.

It's that simple.

In the ports and pins
Is it motor outputs or output signal ?

In output signals is it digit trig?

It also says spidle in motor out puts?

On my setup It's Output #1 and in spindle setup just put 1 in the CW and CCW boxes.

My BOB is configured for output 1 to fire the relay.

Got it to work thanks .the only thing is it will power the relay at the start of a program and only stop powering it at the end of doesn't stop for cut changes and holes etc

Sounds like the wrong post-processor there, code error.

Check the box "IMMEDIATE RELAY OFF BEFORE DELAY" its not your issue but should be checked for plasma, might as well set those 1 second times for 0 as well.

The issue you mentioned sounds like the code you are using is not configured for plasma, can you post what software it was from - SheetCam, Aspire etc and maybe post the code as well.

It's the road runner one on mach 3
