Atm everything works except the power bar and error/fault display underneath the spindle gauge.I still get a s32/u32 error even if I edit the handler.py located at /usr/share/qtvcp/screens/gtdragon_hd/ when trying to display error/faults.
Also I think some pins need to be connected differently in the vfd.hal to have the power bar displayed.
When everything works correctly I would like to edit the first post of this thread with the correct solution.
This is what I have done till now to get the YL620 VFD to work with qtdragon_hd . Bellow the links as a reference because this is not my work. I’m just trying to gather it all together in one place so life should be easier for someone else with the same setup.

Using LinuxCNC 2.9 on Debian Buster.
This solution is based arround VFDMod and Modbus RS485 communication with a Yalang YL620 Variable Frequency Drive. I am using a RS485 usb adapter as the one in the picture bellow

In the .ini file of your machine under [DISPLAY] add
Code:
#Spindle
MIN_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 0.5
MAX_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 1.5
DEFAULT_SPINDLE_0_SPEED = 3500
SPINDLE_INCREMENT = 200
MIN_SPINDLE_0_SPEED = 3500
MAX_SPINDLE_0_SPEED = 24000
MAX_SPINDLE_POWER = 1500
#5 Add
Code:
loadusr -W vfdmod vfd.ini
to the custom.hal file.
#6 Add
to the postgui_call_list.hal file.
.... I'm putting together a pseudo guide of what I have done hoping it might help someone else with the same setup. The only thing I still have to get working is the power display and error report underneath the spindle gauge but it seems that @MarkoPolo has a solution for that problem also.
