If I enable the plugin, I get the problems I mentioned. If I then go into plugin setup and disable the plugin, Mach3 Works, and communicates fine with the VFDe. Weird! The plugin is doing something bad to my system when it's activated, and when I then deactivate the plugin, it still works, and better than it does when activated.

My Mach version is 3.043.062. Im using plugin version 1.7.1. Is it possible to download previous versions of the plugin to test?

Mach does not communicate with the VFD if I don't activate the plugin first that session.

Hey,  just wanted to say thanks for the plugin.

I purchased the VFD Model HY02D223B from cnc4you.co.uk and this USB adapter -

and although I needed to load the CH340 driver not the prolific one everything just worked.

I've even kept the old relay control that used to run my router to start and stop the water cooling pump for the spindle.

I've not had any noise issues yet,  but my stepper motors all have ferrite clips,  and when they arrive I'll be adding some more to the VFD/Spindle and the cable between the PC and the VFD just in case.


Just for info,  I'm running this on XP with a 1.8ghz CPU and 512mb ram.   The Mach3 is the current version 3.043.062 and I just followed your excellent instructions.

Those USB Adaptors are cheep for a reason. Try this one

Good morning.
Excuse my poor English.
I installed the royaumedeole plugin ; It all works, m3, m5,
but the axis motors stops randomly for a few steps.
There are no noise from the spindle. If I put in the manual and I disable the plugin, everything returns to normal.
If I enable the plugin, and I turn off the spindle, the problem returns.
In addition, when the plugin is active, the motors rotate a little slower.
I use the version 1.7.1 of the plugin, and the version 3.043.066 of Mach3.
I even tried to install the vcredist_x86 in French, but nothing has changed.
I also tried .053 and .022 versions of Mach3
I would like to try a previous version of the plugin, but I do not find.
Thanks to those who will find a solution.

royaumedeole / Seb,

I have been using the plugin fairly successfully for awhile. I'm stil, however,l having the issue where if the program calls for the spindle speed to be reduced it e-stops. Did you get that figured out? I'm more than willing to make some paypal donations to your beer fund if you can get it figured out. Its really adding alot of time to one of my part programs.

Also, is there any chance you would allow me to see the source code. My day job is programming and id really love to dig into it to fix a couple of my issues. Id be more than willing to share what I find with you for the official version.

Hi all
I am trying to get the plug in to work.
Version 1.7.1
Win xp
Visual c++2008
MACH3 66

The VFD pd setting are
PD001 2
PD002 2
FOR MACH 3 CONTROL

various other images are attached.
Nothing happens in program run or MDI.

Going back to operator control via the VDF PD001 and 002 and it all works MANUALLY.
