Hi,
Pokeys57cnc is a great product but I am having trouble to configure the spindle.
I am using mach4-hobby demo for now.
I configured my VFD (Chinese Nowforever D100) to work on 0-10V analog input for frequency adjustment. This is connected to PIN17 with PWM enable @ 10kHz like NeoTO recommended on an earlier topic.
The drive need a spindle enable signal to make it turn (Forward in this case). This is active low signal. I connected the VFD COMMON to OC4- and VFD X1 to OC4+. Is that right?
How I can make Mach4 to send active low signal on M3 with this OC4? I can't find what PIN number is OC4 neither on internet or the Pokeys Manual.
Arrrggg not clear!!!

Just want to make the topic answered for future reference.
From Technical support:
The OC outputs are part of the 'Pulse engine' and you will find them under 'PoKeys PE' device in Mach4 IO mapping (read more here: http://blog.poscope.com/pokeys57cnc-pinout-explained/).
Hope this help in the future!
Thanks all!
