I’ve had this Shapoku 5 and Spindle Kit for over a year. I’ve Turned it on to do a test cut, one test project ever because work and life is crazy.
Anyway, I come downstairs to finally do something with the machine. There is no display on the VFD screen and I can’t get the the spindle to kick on. The VFD box has a red ring around the button. The emergency button has a white ring around it. Is this thing hosed or is it user error? Like I said I’ve nearly never used this thing so I may not have something set properly but last time I used it it worked. i’m a little frustrated because this thing was $700+. Anybody have any ideas?
Was in fact user error. I thought the VFD was turned on. I sent a picture to Chat GPT and it identified that the light will turn on on the VFD even when there the power isnt turned on.
Based on your first post it would be a very good idea to review all of you initial startup material to re-familiarize yourself with the machine and interfaces for your own safety as well as the machines.
