Hi
I don't know what BOB you have but mine gives out a 0volt to 10volt output depending on what rpm is entered. So if you enter 0 rpm it will give 0 volts and if you enter max rpm eg 3000rpm it gives out 10 volts. This voltage tells the VFD (variable frequency drive) how many HZ to use to control the speed. I think your speed controller is probably the same thing but you need to check if it works in the same way.
What speed controller do you have?

Hi
Are you using a 0 to 10v input to your VFD from your breakout board?

Cheers

Hi
The spindle pulley set up is in the config menu third from bottom. I am new to this aswell but the way I understand it is this:
Select the pulley you are using.
Enter your min and max speed
If your motor pulley has 1 tooth and your spindle pulley has 5 teeth. That would give a ratio of 1/5.
You take the spindle speed and divide it by the motor speed which in this case would be 0.20.
This is then entered into the pulley ratio for pulley 1 or whatever pulley you are using.

I think this is right but please advise me otherwise.

Cheers
Mick

Hi
Are you sure your motor pulley is 5 times bigger than your spindle pulley?

Hi Guys
Can anyone please tell me why when deleting the last operation from NFS TURN it not only deletes the last operation but deletes the entire file and I have to start over again. Is it a bug in my download or because I am running the trial version??? Would appreciate some please!

Thanks
Mick
