Hello everyone, brand new CNC owner here. I got my shapeoko 5 pro setup and seems like I have figured out bit setter, bit zero and starting a job but I can’t get the vfd spindle to start. Can anyone help? Tech line did not respond to me yesterday and I really want to get this going! TIA
Hey Tim,
Is the enable light on the VFD on? That got me when I first powered up my machine.
Best Regards,
Mark

I noticed the “Spindle On” button on Carbide Motion doesn’t turn the spindle on. It sends a speed because I can see the VFD display changes from 0.0 to 13.5, but no spinning action. However, If I send the M3S10000 it spins up just fine and M5 then stops it.
Figured I’d chime in case your trying to use that “Spindle On” button.

That’s what I learned from tech line! Ends up it was working but I had not configured something right. I am brand new to cnc so it’s been a steep learning curve so far
