10v pdm control was created by Wolfmansbrother
Breakout Board: Gikfun EK1206
VFD: Huangyang 2.2k
I am having trouble controlling my vfd from linux cnc, and I do not know if it is an issue with my B.O,. board or my linux cnc setup.
I know the vfd is set up correctly because if i run 5v through what should be the pdm(VI) input, the spindle runs at half rpm, i can also successfully control on and off and direction.
In the stepf i have 0hz, speed from 1 to 5000 and pwm set to 0 and 1.
the spindlepwm is set to pin1 , which i believe is supposed to control the 0-10v pwm port on my board. I don't have my multimeter atm so i can't check if the port is outputting anything, i have used halscope and know that at least something is being sent to p1 from the parport, but past that idk.

I know more information about my set up will be needed, ill be watching.

If a mod thinks that there is a better place for this thread could you move it there?

If you are concerned why you aren't getting much input. I don't think there are many familiar with your breakout board. We are not sure how or if or what kind of a signal(s) it might be capable of giving your vfd. I think you really need to poke at it a bit with a multi meter to try to figure out exactly what is going on, in order to have a chance of discerning how you should hook it up to your drive.

post your complete config as an archive ,
so long as you have 12v dc supplied to the board it should work, but of your pwm signal is inverted at some stage that can give problems .
i tend to take the 10 - 12v from the vfd ,
i'll be shortly looking at this specific board once i lay my hands on one ,

Did you ever get your hands on one?
I was searching the forum to see if there was an answer to this, low and behold my own answer is here and I never responded.
As of now I have ignored the 10v spindle feature from the board, put linuxcnc in pdm mode and i was roughly able to control my rpm through that.
I recently posted asking about rs485 through par port but that wont work.
I literally just have no idea how to use the 10v feature on this board.

yes i have the board , works fine ,
set the top rpm speed in your ini file , and you should get it ranged so 10v = full speed , and 5v = half speed etc
the lower speed may settle at say 50rpm rather than 0
make sure you set min speed as -5000 for example to get full range , in both forward and reverse if requiired
using a gpio pin to reverse the vfd using a relay is common , as is using another relay for off or disabled
that way the spindle does not rotate when not commanded

Maybe this is my issue? I went through my "my-mill.ini" file and found nothing related to spindle speed.
I have on/off, cw & cww through a relay, just trying to get more accurate rpm control now.

The necessary settings are likely to be in the HAL file.

what does the spindle portion of your .hal code look like?
