I understand now, silly me.
Ok found I had to use setname & found the Linux version here
www.forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/...board?start=10#65737

and I can communicate.

Thanks again

I want to shut off my spindle. (A Makita router.) I certainly won't be turning it on this way. And it would be a lot safer to do this than what I have now, which is "nothing". (From the software side, that is. The hardware switch on the mill does cut power to the spindle.)

As a less dangerous sounding example -- I'd also like to control my shop vacuum dust collector automatically. That's less likely to involve e-stop, but it would certainly be nice to shut it down automatically in that case.

Oh the 93c46 has to be programmed separately ?

I thought the firmware did that

It does seem a bit dangerous and contrary to the purpose of EStop
to do motion commands automatically after an EStop event.

What is the intended operation and with what kind of EStop is further motion
safe?
