Peter sorry... please wait before testing Test4. I need to update settings for check don't won't allow speed to prematurely set like shown in your vid.

Dan,
don't want to cloud issue, but this may in fact help;
UNCNC 1.2037
HYPLUGIN95
Starts Spindle everytime.
HYPLUGIN98 VFD Relay active, no speed from spindle (similar to Peters issue).
Switch back to 95 works.
I return to 98 version, redo and save everthing. Restart UCCNC, spindle doesn't work (as expected).
But here is the interesting bit; NO pc restart, close UCCNC, open MACH3, firmware updates. Spindle OK. Close and start UCCNC, FIRMWARE is updated and the SPINDLE works.
Gordon.
Strange that the Test 2 from yesterday is 100% reliable for me? I was just doing some stepper drive testing, and running a short g-code program that also ran the spindle, and it worked fine every time, for 30-40 cycles I ran over an hour or so.

It basically works but has a few little bugs that I'm ironing out. The biggest is sometimes when it loads Sact is 0, this is the problem Peter was having. All you have to do is set a frequency with MDI or just click spindle override plus or minus once.
The most important thing to remember is whatever is showing in Sact field is what the VFD is set to, so if it loads up and is zero that's what VFD frequency is set at. At least that's how it suppose to work and soon will.
Hi Peter,
I would appreciate when you have a chance to confirm if this fixed all your problems.

I really appreciate your help,
Dan
I finally understand what you were saying about the spindle starting even though the speed on Sact is 0
If I repeat the test after repowering the VFD it wont run because it doesn't have a speed set in it.
If I had previously had the spindle running then it uses the speed set in the VFD.
Things finally sink in if I think about them long enough.
Cheers
Peter

The new version seems to work fine for me. I don't see any difference, and am getting 100% reliability.

On some computers(slower) sometimes only when you first start UCCNC Sact field reads zero and this is what VFD is set to, it should read min RPM. I haven't been able to reproduce this on my office comp(Quad core) but on my machine comp with XP it randomly does. What I suspect is happening is the plugin is setting frequency before finishing reading the new settings file. This problem surfaced when removing connection window with new settings file.
I really haven't had time to really go over other than at night when I finally sit and enjoying my glass of wine or 2 which isn't the best combination...lol
I do have time today and hope to clean this up and do some cut testing.
Dan
I just thought I should test, to make sure no new bugs creep in.

Hoping to remove these little bugs and not add new ones...Hoping
I found where the issue is and heading to basement to test on machine, even though you haven't seen this bug you should download. This fix will also stop the speed override from setting improper speed when using speed override very quickly.
Dan
Ger, I'm having a minor issue with 2017 screenset and not sure if it's the plugin causing it or me modifying the screen for amp field or neither. When screen loads the speed override sliding bar is all the way to right and when I hit reset it goes all the way left. Not in middle like Feedrate. UCCNC 37, no issues with default.

It's a bug in UCCNC, I just reported it. The reset buttons move the sliders all the way to the left, but set the DRO's at 100%

Actually, the spindle override should be all the way to the right.
Feedrate is 0%-200%, so 100% is in the middle.
Spindle speed is 50%-100%, so 100% is all the way to the right.
You can change the min and max with the screen editor, by selecting the sliders.
The bug is when you click Reset, as they shouldn't be moving all the way to the left.

CNC Drive just confirmed that this is fixed in the next version.Although when I hit reset it goes all the way left and sets a 100% when the middle should be 100%.
