Looking for a 220 volt version of this to use here in Germany. Not sure what I would even search for on amazon. I tried using the English words but that did not give me any results that were even close. Any suggestions?
Nothing off the shelf we know off. A good electrician can build you a setup using an opto coupled relay driver and a contactor, but for liability reasons we cannot assist directly
Thanks. I think I came up with a solution lastnight. I have built something similar for my ambient lighting on my tv that turns on and off via a relay and a usb from the tv. Will see if I can apply the same here. I am assuming it is just a 5volt signal that is sent from the black box that could be used to activate a relay.
As long as you dont try driving a relay coil directly. Signal is logic level, couple mA max. Can drive an Optocoupler
Using a small relay I can now control the router/spindle from the control software. Is there a way to have the tool start and stop automatically when I run?
Your CAM application/post processor should add the commands to your Gcode file. What CAM are you using?
