OK, I don't have a PMDX 107, but a PMDX 104. I have a PMDX 126. I couldn't use the 107, my spindle would stutter and slow or stop randomly and Steve never could figure it out, so I bought a 104 and it's been humming merrily along for years. But, that shouldn't matter.
I have a Hitachi VFD, but I think we've eliminated VFD settings seeing as it works with Mach 3.
I have two differences in my setup.
First page, I have PWM frequency at 300 not 25. This per Andy on the phone long ago.
Last page, Output signals I have Spindle FWD checked and setup for that pin, NOT Spindle On. And I CAN run my spindle forward and reverse from gcode or mdi, or the onscreen buttons!!
Those are the only differences I see other than I don't have the laser stuff setup.
And.........probably don't run Mach4 5000 or up, and probably only use ESS 285 with 4809 (likely, per Andy, to be safe)
See what you can figure out from that tidbit!!
