Shapeoko 5 Pro & C3D SPindle Kit

Has anyone had trouble hooking up the spindle kit to their Shapeoko 5 Pro?

I can’t get the RPM’s to work. It’s configured right… yet the RPM’s don’t wanna work right.

(I have reached out to C3D support and i’m waiting patiently… just wondering if I’m missing something obvious.)

Just to verify, send $32 and see if it returns $32=0. Also, it looks like your spindle is not connected, I see the connector laying next to the VFD. Does the VFD need to “Feel” the spindle connected to respond correctly?

I’ve validated $32=0 but in CM configuring that you have a spindle properly sets the GRBL settings on the machine.
No, the motor being connected is not required for this particular VFD to function properly. Good thought though.
The VFD should display on it’s keypad the rpm’s i tell it to go when set… but in this case, it seems like a bad PWM signal… still investigating though.
