Forgot to say. The speed reference for the VFD is a pulsed signal. So
basically I'm feeding a step generator to the VFD for that. I just had to
play a little bit with step length and space to adjust the duty cycle and
get it working right.

I have an X200 VFD. M3,M5,S18000 work fine, from MDI or code. My MPG's
"spindle" button works.
On the default panel, there's a "Spindle" button flanked with a CW/CCW
indicator. Clicking any of that doesn't make the spindle go, even with
"S" set to a valid RPM.
It's not JUST that. Once you

No, if the pin is wired (it defaults to permanently true) then the
behaviour is as-documented.

#15, the line in your hal file would be:

arh ,
if i'm reading correctly , you wish to use an external output form your vfd
to trigger ? , hence an input pin
the spindle at speed signal is internally generated within linuxcnc , using
the spindle rpm encoder
so therfore does not need an input from the vfd directly to use . so long
as your
motion.spindle-at-speed IN BIT
the IN states it is an input so you already found it.
that pin being in the pins section of

you can use stepconf to produce a configuration ,

I'm trying to add a pyvcp panel to control a spindle vfd. To take
advantage of the 'at-speed' signal from the vfd to inhibit motion until
ready, the motion component of LCNC needs to be aware of the spindle
command state- from the documentation:
*motion.spindle-at-speed* IN BIT
Motion will pau
