I have been doing a retrofit for my school on their broken compact 5. My current issue is finding a way to power and control the stock spindle motor. Any suggestions on how to control the spindle and what electronics i need. The stepper driver is a gecko g540 and I am using mach3. Also does anyone know how to do the macro for the tool turret?
Here is a pic of the machine currently.
