M3 Has no Parameter

tomtendo

I cant get my spindle to turn on.
Fusion gives me this command

M3 S3000

It says No P parameter and no active tool with spindle

M3 P0 S3000

This works where do i tell fusion 360 to put that before every M3 command

This is my config file i tried a few things but i dont really understand the system

I want to use Tool1 for everything i dont understand currently how this number thing works. I set in fusion 360 all my tools to number one and just do different gcode files when i need to switch

@tomtendo See this section: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Configuration_CNC#configg-changes

Specifically:

You need to define at least one tool using M563, but it can have zero associated heaters, fans and/or extruder drives, and just the spindle you defined with M950. e.g.

M563 P0 R0 ; assign spindle 0 to tool 0

Or use P1 if you want it to be called tool 1. Then put T1 in your config.g at the end to enable it.

Have a look at the rest of the list there, to see if they apply to you.

@tomtendo I expect because you had D0 and H1 in your M563 command, which don't exist, it was causing an error and not being processed. Also the R0 S0 in your M568 command refers to temperature. You can use M568 F parameter for spindle speed, see https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m568-set-tool-settings
