Spindle temperature control was created by ianlowe
I have a Jianken 3.2kw spindle that has a NTC 103F3950 (10 kΩ, B=3950) thermistor and a Thermal fuse / PTC-type cutoff.
My controllers are Mesa 7i76e + 7i78 + 7i89.
How do I make use of these and connect them to my controllers.

Moved to "driver boards".

I think 7i76 has 4 low resolution analog inputs, so maybe one of those could be used, but i never used it for temperature. I did use them for servo load from the drive, and it worked perfectly fine for my case.
Did not use other two so i can not dispense info.

You could use one of the Mesa 7i76e's not very accurate analog voltage input pins and a 10k resistor to form a voltage divider. at 25 deg C, and 24 volt field power, the voltge will be 12 volts. You might need to scale this with lincurve or a custom component. Accuracy of +- 2 degrees due to 8 bit conversion is probably OK for this application.
