Title: Stop button on mach4 and 424 board
Post by: Kane17752 on May 18, 2017, 09:57:50 PM

I have the 424 board start my spindle via the relay output on start cycle.  If I press the stop button, the spindle stops, but on cycle start, the spindle does not restart.  Suggestions on this appreciated.

This is normal operation.

Stop is not intended to allow you to resume operation. For that purpose
you should use Feed Hold. You can then use the Spindle ON/OFF button
to stop the spindle to clear chips or whatever, and then use it again to
start the spindle again before you hit Cycle Start to resume.
