huanyang vfd won't communicate get errors.

I have been trying to get hy_vfd working with my huanyang vfd. I can program a spindle speed and direction in linuscnc ad all the hy_vfd variable look correct but nothing from the spindle. I have parameters set:
1=2
2=2
163=1
164=2
164=3
I have tried just setting the enable via HAL command: I get the error shown below. Does anyone have any idea what the error code means. I can see the communications happening on an o scope. It looks like HAL keeps trying to communicate as it never stops.

halcmd: loadusr -Wn spindle-vfd hy_vfd -n spindle-vfd -t 1 -d /dev/ttyS0 -p none -r 19200 -s 1

Thanks in advance

Andy,
I'v had this 1.5KW VFD for 6 or 7 years (can't read the label where the VFD is in the panel). I was using it with an external pot till now and allowing Linuxcnc to start it from the M3.
I have tried 2 different (third on order) rs485 converters. The cheap USB model has the cleanest signals. With the RS232 version I have seen data I believe is from the vfd but if it is it is not the data hy_vfd wants. When I start linuxcnc I can see the data on the Oscope linuxcnc keeps sending some packet. With the RS232 converter I see what looks like more data and the receive led on my serial monitor flashes. (might be noise). I tried a serial sniffer program and it looked like the VFD was returning FF F7 each time linuxcnc sent whatever it was sending.
Thanks

halcmd: loadusr -Wn spindle-vfd hy_vfd -n spindle-vfd -t 1 -d /dev/ttyS0 -p none -r 19200 -s 1

When I got my huanyang vfd going I could not use the stop bit's or parity in the connection string.



Also make sure you have the + going to the + from the adapter to the vfd. As I'm sure you know; you have to use usb instead of ttyS0 if using a USB-serial adapter.

Try different baud rates with different parity settings. When you keep getting the time out you know its not communicating.

when issuing the command in a terminal

lsusb

I get the output of:

This is my dongle.

What do you get? You may need to install usbtools I believe it is called for the lsusb to work. Let me know if you run into a snag.

# Load the Huanyang VFD user component

loadusr -Wn spindle-vfd hy_vfd -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -n spindle-vfd 

#String With all the different options## loadusr -Wn spindle-vfd hy_vfd -n spindle-vfd -n -r 19200 -b 8 -p none -s 1 -t 1


# connect the spindle direction pins to the VFD
net hy-fwd <= motion.spindle-forward => spindle-vfd.spindle-forward
net hy-rev <= motion.spindle-reverse => spindle-vfd.spindle-reverse


# connect the spindle on pin to the VFD
net hy-on <= motion.spindle-on => spindle-vfd.spindle-on


# connect the spindle RPM to the VFD
# Note: spindle-cmd created by stepconf wizard
net spindle-vel-cmd-rpm =>  spindle-vfd.speed-command

What are your settings in the VFD for that string?
mine:
163 = 1
164 = 2
165 = 3

Gold Border,
Tried getting rid of -p did not use stop bits. When parity is removed it appears that hy_vfd defaults to even parity. I tried all three combinations the same result. The data that hy_vfd is sending over and over appears to be
0x01 0x01 0x0B 0x2c 0x30 or decimal 01 01 13 44 48. Thanks

I have tried both. currently using the USB since the signal are much cleaner.
