      Hi @droftarts.
      The result is...

        Tried that, @jay_s_uk, but got the following error:

        Error: M3: Requested spindle RPM out of range.

        I also tried S0, which didn't produce an error, but didn't operate the relay, either 😞

          @nightowl999 ok, attempt 2.
          Remove the L1 from the M950.
          And just send something like M3 S4000 (I know we don't have RPM control)

            Well, that worked @jay_s_uk!

              @nightowl999 great, so any S value should activate the spindle. So just make sure your gcode has that an you'll be fine.
              M5 should then turn it off

                Yep, S1 doesn't work, but S1000 does.

                For some reason, and I haven't done anything but add then remove the L1 you suggested earlier, using just M3 works now!

                  OK, so I really don't know what's going on here.

                  AS per my last post, M3 and M5 activated and deactivated the relay.

                  Since shutting down and restarting the Duet after lunch, M£ doesn't work again - even combining that with an S1000 or S5000 command.

                  This is very perplexing!

                        I've got a bit of an update on this, but I'm not sure if it's me, the firmware of the machine...

                        When I first start DWC up and send the "M3" command, this shows green in the Console, but the relay doesn't operate. However, if I send "M3 S5000" this also shows green and the relay does operates. Thereafter, entering just "M3" operates the relay. M5 deactivates the relay.
                        It sounds like I should be adding an M3 S5000 line somewhere in the config.g file, but wouldn't this operate the relay and, ultimately, the router? I suppose I could follow that with an "M5" line, but it doesn't sound good practice to me!

                        Thanks

                          @nightowl999 From the M3 page:

                          M3 can be called without any parameters and will start the spindle of the current tool turning clockwise at the spindle RPM of that tool.

                          So I guess you should define a spindle speed for your tool using M568, then select the tool and then do M3 and it should start up.

                          Give it a try and let us know.
