    Is the version of the controller correct for what you're trying to wire it for? The only version I see that has the same input labels as you (AX RA FH etc) is this one:

    grbl 0.9 with PWM spindle output uses this pinout:

    So you're looking for an A5 pin connection somewhere. Which, in this original xPRO diagram is in the "jumper" block:

    Do you see all three images in my post? If not, wait a little while for them to load, I don't know why they're slow. That's all the (useful) information I could find, but you'd have to test the board connections yourself.

    Honestly, it's a 5-year-old board from the fairly early days of hobbyist CNC commercialization so documentation may be thin on the ground. Replacement at the earliest opportunity (with a BlackBox, @Peter Van Der Walt would prefer :D) is probably the way to go.
