    I had the same problem. Are both your mouse/keyboards USB socket.
    Change to those pin sockets type..or get adapters.
    Should solve problem. IRQ conflict when spindle is turned on with inverter.

    I think you are right.
    I am using those LOGIC for the contact VFD, not the load itself. I thought it could be used similarly to the normal relay.

    Al,
    I was pretty confident that should work too.
    I connect the 2 SSR to FWD/REV/COM on the inverter to drive spindle CW/CCW.
