Speed control of my X-carve.

Bob_Hewson · February 13, 2016, 5:50pm

When using my X-carve with standard spindle I find I need to slow the spindle down to 12,000 from 14,000 for less noise and smoother cuts, this is done through an Easel adjustment.

When I use Chilipeppr/Grbl for more complex projects I find my spindle is at full speed (14,000). Is there any way to slow the spindle down through Chilipeppr?

You can specify Gcode of M3 S12000 or M4 Sxxxx for counter clockwise. Just type it in the serial port console manually. Then run your job. Or stick that gcode into your main gcode file for your job.
