it looks right. I would verify the VCC and Ground pins on the TLE board, but considering that you have tried other boards, it sounds like this one might have a problem.
If you have a multi meter, you could check to make sure power is getting to the board, as well as to verify the pins on the TLE board.
Some other things to check:
if power is getting to the board, see if the relay is toggling using the multi meter to test continuity
verify that all of the components and the relay are properly soldered onto the board (visually and with multi meter if possible)
try using the multi meter or a coin cell battery to light the LEDs individually just to knock that off the list
I have a MultiM. but I"m not that great at using it
I thought I read in the past that the middle pin is not used and the VCC should be 5v. I will check that first
ok I think I figured this out. the TLE board and the relay I am using have the +&- in opposite places. I just clipped the wires and rearranged them. On TLE board middle is +5V just like the label says. on the relay the + is VCC.
Ground also needed to be switched
Iāve been searching everywhere and havenāt been able to find the āSpindle Automationā setting anywhere in ground control, Iām using v1.27 and have been going nuts.
The Kivy user interface can be pretty hard to navigate
āSpindle Automationā is in GC on the Settings/Advanced page, about half way down the list. Click on the word āNoneā to get a list of options.
Okay, now Iām really nuts because I have never seen this screen before and can not seem to locate the āadvanced settingsā tab or option in the settings menu or anywhere from what I can tell.
Edit: Nevermind! Wowā¦like, wow haha. Found it after 5 days.
Possibly, depending on the inrush current of your router/spindle. 10A seems ok but it will be marginal. The standard Rigid router is rated at 11A, continuous but will only draw that when its strating up or under a load. The last time I measured the current draw for mine it was pulling about 6-8 while it was in a cut. If you are using a smaller router than the current draw should be less.
The board you linked to looks like an electro/mechanical relay. Try to find a solid state one. They typicaly have lower activation current requirements. Iāve been using these and had really good luck:
I use one one for the router/spindle, and use one for the vacuum. I paralelled the spindle on output command from the controller to each relay so that both the router/spindle AND Vacuum start at the same time.
