    anyone connect a gecko 540 with colombo spindle?

    I think I want to buy a Colombo spindle. Has anyone wired this up to a
    Gecko 540?

    I looked through the manuals and I'm not clear how to connect the two units.

    The Gecko has three terminals for the VFD.
    Pin 7 is the VFD ground
    Pin 8 is VFD output
    Pin 9 is +10V. Is pin 9 (+10V) a input or output?


    What pins on the VFD do I connect these to? The VFD has the following terminals:
    +10V
    AVI
    ACI
    AUI
    ACM

    Thanks,
