    How to control spindle speed vfd

    Okay I'm stumped. I set up my X2 for the pwm spindle operation. I have it basically working but can't seem to vary the spindle speed. I can turn the spindle on and off with either the button on about all screens, or typing M03 M05 etc. But when I do an SXXXX it has no effect and none of the arrows or fields you would expect to change the speed seem to have any effect. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm not sure exactly what was wrong, but I was able to get it working by downloading the XML file Here G540 VFD Then using the Mach3 Loader to make a new setup. When I have a little extra time I'll copy the spindle settings down here. If you get stuck and I haven't gotten to it yet send me a PM.
