Huanyang VFD controller plugin

i gonna try to put up some screenies soon with serial monitor dumps.
when i enter my desired speed, like 10000 and i press enter it just jumps back to 0, i dunno why, but i should mention that i hae never used mach3 before so it could be a rookie misstake.

If it's returning to zero that's a problem. You might be trying to set it in the wrong box. Depends what screenset your using but there is often a DRO for the speed setpoint and for actual speed. Try setting the other one. Or try typing in"S10000" into the manual gcode input screen to set the speed.

it looks like the same problem wat i had in the beginning it goed by the hy frequency of the steppers.

Are you using a smooth stepper? I had a similar issue and had to add some EMI filters. See here http://www.mechmate.com/forums/showthread.php?p=28851&postcount=67

My plug-in is still not working but I have made a little progress.  I have switched to a new USB to RS485 converter and it appears to be transmitting and receiving information from the VFD.  Reviewing the serial information the plug in is sending 04 04 03 01 00 00 A1 DB and receiving DF 5F FD.  PD001 and PD002 still show 99.  Does anyone have any ideals

bolingerbe, the sent message looks ok but there is not enough bytes in the reply. Can you change the VFD address to 1. It makes it much easier for me to identify incorrect comms. Can you try the same thing i suggested above, Uncheck the boxes for the speed and current. That way you can see the messages back and forth when starting/stopping the spindle and you won't have the endless stream of messages.

[bolingerbe]

Matty Zee, just to make sure I understand you.  You want me to uncheck PD002.  Is that correct?

[Matty Zee]

nope. have a look at the pic attached. uncheck those two check boxes. It will stop teh constant flow of messages so you can see what happen when the plugin tries to start the spindle. Once that is working, you can check these boxes again.
