First off... thanks for all the work you guys have put into this. I was about to declare victory tonight before I went in "M4" and started going backwards.
So here's where I'm at.
Got the VFD and spindle working in manual mode and so everything seems right from the VFD and spindle standpoint.
I'm using the 2017 screenset and just updated to the latest UCCNC software (1.2047) and 2017 install today. That is working fine.
Connected the RS485. Changed PD001 and PD002 to 2.
Installed the HYPLUGIN (12) and checked the enable and call on startup boxes. Restarted UCCNC and configured the plugin per this thread. Restarted UCCNC. Also turned off all other plugins.
Changed the RPM box to 2451 and missed the right place to save it off. M3 didn't turn on the spindle.
Went back to the stock UCCNC profile and followed those instructions to configure the HYPLUGIN. After doing that UCCNC started crashing on startup.
Went back to the 2017 screen and woo hoo.... M3 worked and the spindle turns on and off. Slider didn't work.
Looked at the RPM block and it was still set to 870. Figured out I was using the wrong save settings. Had I read the tread a little slower... and all the way through.. I would have know this earlier
Fired it up and RPM block was still at zero. Clicked on the slider bar and the RPM flashed to 6,000 and then UCCNC crashed. Reloaded and crashes every time.
Turned the VFD off and UCCNC will run but as soon as I plug the VFD in and when it comes on UCCNC crashes.
Tried the other RS485 adapter (bought 2 since they were cheap and seems that some have had problems with them) and still the same.
I'm also probably the last person running a windows vista machine.... but it seems to work fine.
I'm sure I've got something set wrong. Any idea on where to start would certainly be appreciated. It's late and I've learned to walk away and come back another day to prevent magic smoke from forming. Again.... thanks to all the effort that went into this plugin.
