Adding second spindle control to pyVCP: is it complicated? was created by liutas4x4
Hi,
My target is to connect and control Mitsubishi MDS-D2-SP2-8040 amplifier and alike. It is not about mill or lathe, it is about testing amplifiers after repair.
I am not knowing/using python and am learning lcnc's HAL.
Is it too complicated task or someone can shortly describe me a path as "to do list?"

I have MDS-D2-SP2-8040 driver. 80A is on axis 4, 40A on axis 5.
Bur from PyVCP I can control I only the first, both from onscreen buttons by M3/M5/M4 commands by MDI.
How to rotate second spindle by MDI (can' found M codes for it) and to add control buttons for it to PyVCP?
Sorry for delayed answer -- was in other fields of work.
UPDATE: it i not about machine. It is a stand for check of a drivers after repair.
