AM882 works with Protune - but not with the ZPA5-INT BOB

The only board I can recommend which you can buy in UK is this one. I've used many without problems, infact I'm installing one at this moment along with AM882 drives.

Right, sounds like a plan. I was considering a better board as I have a VFD inverter and spindles I want to get running - I don't see any mention of spindle control on this board - is that the case?

No it's a separate board if you want to control spindle speed.

You can use BOB's On board relays to control VFD start/stop signals. To be honest I don't often bother with spindle speed control and just control Start/stop.
I also use the relay built into VFD to control water pump so it's only running when spindle spinning.!

Cool - I am not to sure I will need spindle control any time soon. I have 2 really nice spindles, one with a vortex tube on it pumping cool air down the centre of the cutter that I want to get running. The machine it came with had a KEB inverter that I need to start understanding . Spindle control won't be relevant until I have that sorted!!!

FYI, just tried the board on my Gekko setup and it works fine.

I have spotted something that might make a difference though - so I will try it out and update accordingly. . . . .
