cant figure out how to hookup, yes I read all docs

Nevermind to the previous post about touch probe not working. I edited the post.. turns out I just had to run a jumped wire from the 24VDC in to the H9 section port 4 and it works now.

Spindle still not powering up or spinning. I am not really sure what is wrong here. Kind of stressing about that

Not sure what to say or suggest since I can't see what you see. You say not powering up. The VFD not powering up? If it was working on a Mach system, you probably didn't need to program anything and just not what wires went to the old Mach breakout board and what their functions were.

Sketch out how you have the VFD wired and connected to Acorn and post it here.
You either have a wiring or a VFD programming issue.

I will get on that asap and post in a few

Anything in RED means I ran a wire already from VFD to the controller. The salmon colored wire on the left side is just a jumper wire as the probe wiring schematics had asked me to do.

I noted on the right hand side of this photo that there is one 10V wire that is not connected to anything that used to be connected to the SPINDLE CATEGORY and in the MACH3 manual it was called DC 10V INPUT. Maybe this wire needs to go somewhere like the SPINDLE OK port on the acorn board, but I dont have anything currently in the SPINDLEOK port, but the acorn schematics didnt really tell me where. Maybe you can tell a problem with my wiring so I noted each individual wire with the corresponding port its labelled on the VFD as. I also posted a photo of the VFD so its easier to see along side my drawn on schematic. Losing my mind on this and worried i gotta rip all wires out and go back to MACH3 so I can get my shop back up and running

DO NOT connect the 10v from the VFD anywhere. As I believe I previously mentioned, Acorn supplies the 0-10vdc signal.
Late here.

I will give you a link to testing your VFD in the morning....

[martyscncgarage]

I found the link:
https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=2446

Disconnect the VFD from Acorn and test it as outlined in the video. Use a simple 1.5vdc battery across the 0-10vdc VFD input - to ACM and positive to AVI
Then jumper using a wire from ACM(VFD common) and your Forward terminal. Power up the VFD and the spindle motor should run in the forward direction provided you have it programmed correctly

When my VFD is powered on it Just flashes H and says 0. Before when I clicked the Spindle to start on CNC12 it said H 15.0

That was before some wiring changes so not sure it still does that or not anymore. Ill go ahead and try this video and update my results.
I wish I could get the touch probe working though and ill need to digitize before cutting anyways but hey.. two things to work on i guess if i get stuck on one



I guess one question I do have is where does the SPINDLEOK get its wire from

I went through the whole menu and typed these down... I really really hope this helps.

I also found if i hit the >>> button on the VFD the spindle starts to spin real slow and it says F 5.0

Did you run the test as I suggested?

U suggest you make these parameter changes and rerun the battery/jumper test:
VFD Programming:
ONLY change these two Parameters
p064=1
p065=1
Retest with the battery and the jumper
1.5VDC battery across VFD COM (battery -), and VFD AVI (battery +)
Jumper from VFD COM to VFD X1 (Forward Terminal)
Power up the VFD
This alone with the VFD powered up should turn the spindle on in the forward direction and spin relatively slowly.
Let us know
