Help with getting linuxcnc to turn on router

I run a dewalt router on my cnc and i can not seem to find where to confrig to get the computer to turn on the router automatically

any help I would appreciate

@Sandman,

The linuxcnc wizard's will do that for you. Try it. In the output hal file of this, you will find "spindle" if you have Mesa it will be connected to a given mesa i/0 port. If you use parport, it will output problably parport 1, pin 17.

The dewalt router on off switch has to be active. And i think you need to adapt a female power plug for your dewalt router on your cnc portal, wich is connected to the on/off relais of your interface board. For higher power consumption's a secondairy power relais is an option to implement.

Good luck !

You need to connect motion.spindle−on to an output.
