    I've been looking all over, sifting through the forums and the documentation, but I can't seem to find the problem.
    I want to use the 0-10v to control my amb digital spindle. I've found how to wire it through this forum, I've set $30 to 25000, $31 to 3500 so I'm guessing that's it?
    I went to check the voltage on the blackbox, and that's where I'm stumped. If I tun on the spindle through the control software, the voltage goes to 0.2-ish but that's it. If I'm not mistaken, that's the minimum output?
    No matter what m3sxxxx command I send, the voltage remains the same. Adjusting the potentiometer just makes the voltage go between 0.1xxx to 0.4xxx.
    Any ideas?

    EDIT
    I just read a post on the forum about someone who had the voltage "stuck" at 5V. The problem solved itself after powering the blackbox down completely, also disconnecting the USB. And what do you know, a complete power down solved my problem as well. Never thought about disconnecting the USB..

    Did you remember to power on the 24v PSU? It also powers the 10v circuit, so the lack of voltage suggests the 24v supply is off/disconnected

    Thanks for your reply. I was just editing my post.
    "Have you tried unplugging the unit?" :)
    I'm glad it's solved.
