Hi all
I have a mesa 7i76e which i have managed to connect the steppers & are working,im realy strugling with the spindle connection to the vfd (minleaf AT1-2200x) the pot side is working & i can increase & decrease the speed in linuxcnc but for the life of me i cant get it to enable or reverse i have it connected:-
pin8 spindle dir +
pin7 spindle dir -
pin6 spindle ena+
pin5 spindle ena -
pin4
pin3 spindle +
pin2 spindle OUT
pin1 spindle -

if i run a wire from comon to x4 (sindle ena) it goes forward at the set speed & x5 (spindle rev) it reverses i just cant get linux th control the pins is there a way to test this please
I attatch my HAL file
Thanks in advance

You should be able to control this entirely from TB4

Code:
pin8 spindle dir+ --> X2 pin7 spindle dir- --> COM pin6 spindle ena+ --> X1 pin5 spindle ena- --> COM

The trick is figuring out the very obscure/terse manual and
setting up X1 for enable and X2 for direction

Thanks for the reply

i have tried as you said vfd settings
pin8 spindle dir+ --> X2 wired reverse
pin7 spindle dir- --> COM
pin6 spindle ena+ --> X1 wired enabled
pin5 spindle ena- --> COM

x1 & x2 are sitting at 12v & nothing changes (no voltage drop) when controlls are pressed i am at a loss as what to do next

if LinuxCNC is running and hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinena is true (verify with halmeter)
and you read +12V from TB4 pins 6 to 5 (at the 7I76), the 7I76 has been damaged.

If you are using axis, try

Machine --> Show Hal Configuration --> the select hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinena
from pin list --> watch tab
