well , i have at least got the spindle running and stopping (the correct way)) from the reset button in mach 3. i emailed Gary @ ZAPP and apparently i need to wire in 10 v from the VFD to the BOB. i'll give it a go.

No using Reset is not the correct way to start/Stop spindle.

I also think Gary as got this wrong. The 0-10V signal is generated by the BOB you don't need the 10V from VFD.

I'm a little busy at minute but I will look at this for you later.

Ok well looking at the manual again then Gary is correct and you do need to supply the Bob with 10V for speed control, which is poor IMO but not a problem.

Regards the Relays I think you may need to change SW1 to Off and work in Enable Mode not Charge pump mode for the Relays to work correctly.
The manual isn't very clear on this but that's what I think it's trying to say.? . . . . Give it a try and see what happens.

The way the Spindle should Start & Stop is with issuing M3 for CW, M4 for CCW and M5 to stop from G-code or MDI. Or with on screen button or F5.
