    Gecko 540 and a chinese 2.2 kw water cooled spindle and vfd

    when I bought this spindle it said it was controllable by the computer for turning on and off and speed control, also said a manual would come with it.

    Well I got the spindle and vfd and a piece of paper, no where does it actually show how to hook it to anything to control the vfd. Anyone have a idea how to do this. I got it from buildyourcnc.com

    Thanks for the help.

    I am assuming this is a Huanyang VFD?
    There is a manual on a few sites on the web.
    Did you contact the supplier?
    You should have got a manual with it, although if Huanyang it is cryptic.
    Plenty of recent posts here if you search.
