make sure that the earth/common is sunk to ground from the machine to where the power comes into your shed if not whack a earth stack in (very important)

it sounds like a big power draw have computer and screen on its own power supply

there is a white paper written on common/shield connections where you have low and high on there own star 10mm apart it makes a differences tried it my self

also check with the manufacturer of your VFD some are meant to have shield connected at each end

above are things I have done and they worked

does the button on screen work.

also you tick freq ctrl, just set hi and low in Darwin config

in Darwin set your output for spindle on, in m4 set spindle forward as what you set spindle on to.

I am only going by memory I don't use the Darwin machine I have for milling any more converting to darwin laser. if I am wrong art will say

have you remove the M3, M4 and M5 macros in the macros folder as they can cause the spindle not to work properly
