Spindle sets off without use of potentiometer

I’m sure I saw a thread a while ago where someone had the same issue, but I can’t seem to find it, so let’s continue digging in the meantime…

First, just to be sure we are on the same page, are you using the param values from that post, with only the modifications you mentioned above ? I know it’s tedious, but if you could make a note of every single param value you currently have, it would probably help to pinpoint the likely cause ?

If for some reason we cannot figure it out, another route could be to

  • disconnect the spindle
  • restore the VFD to factory settings (by setting PD013 to 08)
  • re-adjusting the bare minimum parameters (spindle characteristics)
  • reconnect the spindle and see if manual operation is ok or not.
  • and then modify the params for external PWM control, later.

Thanks for the little lesson !

Wow. I have fond memories of my very first digital camera, a Sony Mavica that stored pictures on FLOPPY DISKS! (the younger ones here probably don’t even know what a floppy disk is). And therefore I was carrying multiple boxes of floppy disks with me when traveling.
