Hello, I a new member just got my machine and was wandering what would be the european version of the system you proposed. I have been google for a wile and I dont see a direct solution. Can someone help me out?
you wouldnāt happen to have a pic of that layout? I just bought both items to install this weekend.
is this relay something that is compatible with the x-controller?
Donāt Jump on it by looking to new advertisement. That is the same relay box out for couple of years. Itās not four outlet relayed. Two connected to mechanical relays, other two direct power.
I jumped on it and buy one. Failed to turn on Dewalt twice in same day.
Iād rather using Solid State Relay for every count.
Also you can check apps, it doesnāt tell you can connect power hungry router.
In My opinion.
I know, that must be my luck. Just didnāt work well.

Looks as if digital loggers is upgrading the IOTrelay features, they state new design should be out in a couple of weeks

From the Digital Logger page:
Weāre building new version 2 units including new features based on customer feedback. Weāll shipping in just a few weeks. Feel free to call (408) 330-5599. Youāll be first in line when the new relays are ready. Thanks for your patience.

I messaged them a few months ago and they never replied. That line has been on their site for literally months.

You have something in mind?
Hey Phil, I just got my new XCarve. Is there any new update on what I need to purchase to control my 611 automatically
I bought this, then converted it into a far more useful setup. It ports directly outside after using a Thein baffle to eliminate 99% of waste into a mounted trash can. Then I piped out my whole garage with access. 
I bought a remote switch too, which makes it awesome.

Help! Iāve read this thread, and tried out what I understand, but am still having difficulty. When I switch the toggle switch to on, I get the spindle on. When I have it switched to logic, I get nothing. Iāve checked my yellow and black wires and they go to pin 11 (yellow) and gnd (black). I checked where they plug in and they seem snug and correctly placed. I kept reading about setting my rpm higher but I canāt find where to do that. Iām assuming one of the updates changed how that is done since '16.
You talk about checking voltage but frankly Iām an idiot when it comes to that. If you need me to do that please include pictures and instructions a third grader could follow. I am a veterinarian so Iām not an idiot, well when it comes to most things Iām not, but when it comes to GRBL and Gcode, you may as well be speaking Latin and electrical talk is a close second on my ignorance meter.
Iāve gotten some really good help on here before and I appreciate your patience with me. Thanks for explaining the routine and simple for you, to me, again.
This indicates that your wiring is most likely ok.
Since you only get On/Off (not spindle speed) with the DeWalt, in order to make the DeWalt turn on correctly you have to select a spindle rpm such that you get a continuous full cycle from the D11 pin.
This is done by selecting an rpm that is equal to or greater than the maximum spindle speed set up in grbl. You control the spindle by using M3 and M5 G-code commands along with setting the spindle rpm with the S Word.
What software are you using to send your G-code to the Arduino?

I only use easel at this time.
Depending on the voltage some gloves, long leather ones, will be very handy as well. Claws tend to leave a mark.

In Easel, go to machine inspector -> advanced and play around with that page. I donāt use Easel, but I believe that you have direct access to grbl on that screen.
Figure out how to obtain the grbl parameters and post yours here. It should look something like this.
Default_X_Carve_Grbl_Parameters.txt (1.0 KB)
Those parameters are ok so you must have a setup issue in Easel. Some where during setup it should have asked you what spindle you have.
You can check the functionality by going back to the advanced machine inspector screen and there should be a field to enter commands.
With the switch on the power supply board in the ālogicā position and the switch on your DeWalt on
enter the command M3 S1 and that should turn the DeWalt on.
enter the command M5 and that should turn the DeWalt off.
If this works then itās definitely an Easel setup problem that you canāt turn it on and off with Easel.
