Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

Try deleting [spindle0]

setp scale-rpm.gain .02
put that in instead

At least that gets me to the next error - ./remora-ec500.hal:127: Pin 'remora.output.02' was already linked to signal 'spindle-cw'

line 127 is - net mist    remora.output.02     => iocontrol.0.coolant-mist

Edit: I figured out that the pin for the spindle was wrong, it should of been .00 not .02. Now I have the spindle turning on. First time I have seen the spindle run sense the day the machine shipped. No speed control and I am unsure how to fix that, but at least I am making progress. At this rate I might even see the mill actually working before fall.

What does it do when you try adjust the speed? Is it a VFD you are using? What is the speed input to the vfd pwm or 0-10v analog. Have you the VFD wired correctly ?

OK, This is a Merckweir MK300 VFD that was installed from the factory. As par for the course with this machine, the unit is an old out of production version. All this that I am trying to do now is to salvage the purchase of this mill after taking a giga hose job and losing over $3k.

To answer your questions in order -
1. Nothing happens when I try to adjust the speed. Whether I issue an M3 S100 or M3 S15000, the speed is the same. VFD panel reports 3500 rpm, or at least I think it's RPM, anyway, no change.

2. Yes, VFD

3 The input is suppose to be 0-10v and if the translator on my phone is correct that is connected to the AI1 (0-10v analog signal input) on VFD

3. As far as I can tell.... There are only 3 wires, COM, AI1 for the 0-10v analog and X1 that connects to spindle out1 (spindle-cw)

Measure the input voltage at the VFD it's probably at 10v constant ?
​​​​​​ Yes you can also hook up outputs for  FWD and REV.

Actually, no. Spindle 'ON' shows 0v between COM and AI1.
