Title: SXCNC VFD settings for Mach3
Post by: Mark Waldie on July 09, 2024, 04:08:54 AM

Hello Folks,
Would somebody be king enough to point me in the right direction for the VFD (nowforever) settings as well as Mach3 settings to allow me to control the spindle speed via Mach3.
Regards
Mark

You need a breakout board and motion controller that can support it.  Or you can do it via modbus.

Hardware all set up. Just need the P values to input into the VFD and Spindle values in Mach3, as requested.

Thanks

Mark
