X-Controller PWM output voltage

[RichardWalker]

I am interested in using the X-Controller PWM output to control my spindle and dust collection system. Does anyone know what the output voltage is when you set up the X-Controller to control the spindle? Hard to but a relay of you don’t know what voltage you have to drive it.

Max voltage of 5V.

The Xcontroller’s 0-10V output is a “filtered” output up to 10V.

I’ve just wired my spindle and dust collector using two separate relays. Look here for wiring.

UK spindle and dust extraction auto control

Hi All I thought I would show how I setup my X Carve in the UK and cure the dreaded USB dropouts. We dont have access to the IOT relay setup, so I have designed my own to run the spindle power and automate the vacuum independently. For months I had dropout during carving and I have now implemented all the suggestions on here, and thankfully it has never dropped a connection since. I have added a power USB hub, changed the standard USB cable to a Micro B and plugged it straight in to the Xcont…

You need to make sure that you draw less than 40 mA per logic pin from the X controller.
