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.
