    There are three popular ways to control spindle speed.

    - Through RS-485. You need a VFD/BLDC drive with RS-485 interface and an RS-485 port on your computer (typically a USB adapter).

    - Through 1..10V. Most VFDs and BLDC drives have this input. You need either a breakout board with 1..10V output, or a PWM output and a converter.

    - Through PWM. Some (but not all) BLDC drives have that option. You need one spare digital output on the breakout board for PWM.

    Maybe change the speed control from the pot to the VI/ACM inputs?
