Tells controller to ‘spin’ the motor of specified axis at a rate expressed as its DAC value, a bit value from -128 to 128.  This causes the motor to run in open-loop mode with no position or speed feedback.

== Reply ==
If there are no errors, a positive reply of <wrap reply> :A </wrap> is sent back.
== Example ==
	
<asi> $ @ X=100 Y=-100 Z
:A</asi>

This example shows a command that will instruct the X-axis turn at a motor rate of 100 DAC bits in one direction, the Y-axis at the same rate but in the other direction, and stop any rotation or motion of the Z-axis.

**Note 1:** To stop rotation, give a value of zero, or just the type the axis letter without an assignment as shown in the example above, or use the [[commands:halt|HALT command]].

**Note 2:** The ''HALT'' command will not return an <wrap reply> :N-21 </wrap>  when stopping a ''SPIN'' command.
