How to connect spindle?

[viroy]

I am trying to figure out how to get the spindle going with my breakout board and running properly in Mach3.
The board is a KLDB25.
The spindle is a SunFar E300.

What is the best way to physically connect and also how to setup in Mach3?
Thanks!

I attached pics & manual

Get a different board.
You want one like this 5 axis one below.
The one you have is unsuitable for pwm output for a spindle drive.

Is that one available in the USA, preferably on ebay?

It should be. EBay is full of them.
Search.. '5 axis breakout board'.

May be one on srepperomline but at higher price.

If you do get the 5 axis one. First of all it will need 2 power sources.
1* at 5v for stepper/servo outputs and 1* at 12-24v to run the inputs and spindle analog/relay.
In Mach > motor outputs > spindle > step=P1, Dir=P0, port1.
Step is for the analog 0-10v on the right hand side. Takes its power from the 12-24v.
If it's at 10v when spindle should be off and 0v at full rpm, this can be reversed with active liw/high change on step pin.

Use pin17 port1 on one of the 'general outputs' to operate the onboard relay and assign that to M3 relay control for direction/ vfd FWD. Assign a 0 to M4 relay.

If you assign P17 to both M3/M4 or have P17 on motor outputs dir pin the relay can glitch. Common mistake people make.
If relay is 'glitchy' then assign a false output to M4 and make sure spindle dir pin is at 0 to be sure M3 goes on/off and stays on/off.

eBay or Amazon has them, this one is on Amazon free delivery $25.99 there are cheaper ones some of these Boards which may have no terminal markings as to what the inputs and outputs are

This is the user manual for the 5 axis board.

I got this one...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174725161345
looks like it converts 5vdc from the USB port for step/dir axis signals.... then it also has 12-24v input for the 0-10v spindle output.

Then I ordered one of these:

Chose the 24v 2A model

Should be everything I need I hope... yes?

ok so the card arrived and I hooked everything up.
The XYZ and A motors all work great... but the spindle does nothing.

I changed the VFD setting F0.0 from 4 to 1 (from 'ext terminal' to '0-10v input')
Card is being powered by 24v

Spindle VFD Wiring:
AVI on card to AI on VFD
10v on card to 10v on VFD
ACM on card to CM on VFD

Mach3 Settings:
config -> ports&pins -> spindle setup:
Disable spindle relays = unchecked
clockwise M3 output# = 1
use spindle motor output = checked
pwm control = checked

config -> ports&pins -> motor output:
spindle = enabled
step pin = 1
dir pin = 0
step port = 1
dir port = 1

config -> ports&pins -> output signals:
Output #1 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 1
Output #2 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 2
Output #3 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 3
Output #4 = enabled, port# = 3, pin# = 4

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, please help!
