Spindle does not respond to MDI or program control SOLVED

I asked you to post a screenshot of your IO page.
Please do so.

Which Centroid Schematic did you follow when wiring your VFD?

You have a LOT of corrupt files in your report. Not just M3

You should do a complete removal and install the latest version.

Note, you will still have a cncm folder with a backup copy of your corrupt files after you go through add/remove programs to remove it. Get rid of that also before you start fresh.

No joy - still the same exact behavior. This is what I have done

Downloaded fresh copy of CNC12 to thumb drive on home computer
Made copy of report on thumb drive from CNC computer
Used Uninstall facility in Win 10 to remove CNC12 from disk
Manually went to C drive and deleted CNCM directory and everything in it
deleted everything CNC related from the desktop.
Made sure no directory on C disk had any CNC related material.
Copied CNC12 from thumb drive to desktop and took thumb drive out of USB port
Installed CNC 12 from the desktop
restored Wizard from the report I put on the thumb drive earlier
No change. Spindle still runs fine in manual mode, will not respond in MDI or from within program.

I am attaching to this message
A NEW report just generated from the freshly installed CNC12
Pix of each of the Wizard screens, even if they are not in use at this time

The computer I am using for Acorn was purchased new just for this use. It is a NUC 5 with a 500G solid state drive. Runs beautifully. I went through and followed the video to prep it for installation before the first installation of CNC12. Been on the internet just once to update it after I bought it. There is no internet at the shop so I don't think that is the issue.

This is about to drive me nuts!

Here is the rest of the material that was over the limit from the previous post

You must have imported corrupt files with your report reload.

My M3 contents look like this. (Look at yours for comparison) My outputs are different from yours

;-------
;M3 macro
; Displays message to select auto spindle mode if it is not set
;-------

IF #4202 || #4201 THEN GOTO 200
M95 /2
M94 /1
IF #61058 THEN GOTO 200 ;skip the check if AutoSpindle is on
G4 P.1
#140 = 1.5
N100
IF !#61058 THEN M225 #140 "Please Select Auto Spindle To Continue!" ;61058 = JPO2/SpindleAutoManualLED
G4 P.5
IF !#61058 THEN GOTO 100
N200

for reference, yours looks like this

Do not copy any of your old files into fresh new install. It does not take long to enter your info in the wizard. If you keep importing the corrupt files, you will not fix it. Uninstall, wipe it clean again, and start fresh with using the wizard settings. Do not import an old report.

If you still end up with corrupt files, maybe your flash drive you are taking out to your pc, or the pc itself has issues.

I noticed that in your first report. All the .mac files have NUL in them with Notepad++ and I tried Notetab Light and got this. Time for a clean install.

I installed a fresh copy of CNC12 on a computer here at home and you are right. I have the same M3 macro on that. Will go out in the morning and scrub the Acorn computer clean and start fresh.

Will let you know what is happening.
