Greetings All.
I've read up on this topic a LOT, tons of googling, Found a ton of info here, unfortunately, not the info I need to fix my problem.
Followed the wiring here. http://www.homanndesigns.com/pdfs/EN010_V8.pdf
The relays work. The spindle indeed starts. However, the RPM shows 0 in Mach3 AND it cannot control the speed of the spindle. I can turn the POT and it adjusts just fine, but if I try to change the speed in Mach3, nothing happens. I have setup everything according to Port/Pins info found here. Set up my pulley and all that.
Thoughts?

Hi Mercury049 have you set the vfd to be controlled via g540 ? Look at the vfd manual at parameters and look for external control eg param 1-1 external control via 10volts. I am new and had the same thing. Cheers Peter

I figured it out last night. I had all the PD settings correct, but I didn't change the position of a jumper on the VFD. I made a quick video showing what I did and posted on youtube last night. If anyone finds this post looking for ideas on why theirs won't work, feel free to watch my video. https://youtu.be/GoiXZt9_cxc
Sorry for the messy environment, but still hacking it together.
So, the problems is fixed now, thanks for the suggestions!
