What is gs2_vfd ?

I just got a GS20 drive yesterday as a replacement for my mill but first I have to learn how to configure it for another project.

gsoft2 is great for config, I'm just using FOR and REV commands. I tried to work out the pulse train on the gs20, but it wants 24v pulses and the mesa hardware I have requires um more electronics skill then I have. I considered using the 15 preset frequency via the DI3-6, but got the analog out card working so I think just a basic PID will do all I need.

I tried to get the 3 wire start stop to work but could not figure out why it doesn't work. I used the quick start guide to wire up the start and stop buttons and set the P02.00 parameter to 3.

Turns out if you don't have the source of command selected the 3 wire won't work.

ya 00.21 for auto mode and 00.31 for hand/manual
