    G4 P<seconds> G Codes

    It goes on the line after your spindle start command.

    That's if you were coding by hand. What cam software are you using?

    I am using openbuilds. Is it M4 p5 for a 5 second delay?

    Well I have the router up and running. I have to turn the spindle on by hand. Pics are of the VFD I have and ow I am wiring it. I have 10 volts going to it. What am I missing? I can't find a lot on the Black box x32 and wiring in the vfd. I know it's me. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    Refer the VFD manual and read it alongside docs.openbuilds.com > BlackBox X32 > 0-10v/VFD section.

    0-10v is an industry standard. VFD manual will identify terminals and VFD parameters to enable it. Blackbox is simplistic. As described in our docs, calibrate the voltage and that's it. There is the 0-10v signal
    Rest of the setup all happens on the VFD
