Control spindle with g code

Hello all im having problems getting my spindle to turn on with a M3 command. I can use the button in AXIS to start and stop it but if I issue a midi command for M3 it will not start the spindle. Im using a router motor controlled with a super pid. M5 will turn the spindle off

I have added my hal file. Thank you for any help

Please attach hal & ini files.

did you set a S code with the M code?

m3 s1000

No I did not set an s. ill go try that and report back

I feel really dumb thank you for the help not having an S code was the problem.

Don't feel dumb. Linuxcnc should allow you to have them on different lines.
It's a linuxcnc quirk (IFAIC)
