I inherited a Dental Mill and I have it working with EMC2, but I'm having some small problems with the spindle motor.
Sometime it doesn't want to start. It turns about 120-degrees over and over but doesn't spin up. Sometimes it spins up fine. I can always get it started by toggling the spindle on/off a few times. Then when I hit "Play", the spindle stops, but always starts up. I also think the spindle is running slower than it can. Just a hunch. The interface is a home-made parallel-port board, and the creator didn't document the spindle controls part. He's got 3 DIP switches that run to pins on a 2x8 0.1 Inch ribbon cable to a port on the controller that says "PROCAM" on it. I've posted photos of the PCBs at: https://picasaweb.google.com/AlanKilian/Misc# I have failed in my attempt to get "the google" to provide much help. Has anyone seen anything like this? I'd sure appreciate any help.
