    X6-1500GT - Spindle not spinning

    Hello! I've just finished setting up my Carving CNC x6 and I'm having an issue.

    I can't make the spindle spin either from the VFD Panel or the Mach3 control. The motor makes a whining sound but no rotation.

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    I made a video to show whats happening:

    The light under "Trip" starts flickering when the RPM is above ~6000. When below that number, its off.
