I am making slow progress but my spindle is running in reverse. I sure it is a simple fix but I’m not finding the solution. Please point me in the correct direction
Swap around 2 of the 3 wires (black and white for example) on one end of the cord between the VFD and the spindle and that should fix it. I had this issue as well.

Thank you ,
I am making progress but have to connected my VFD to the controller. I watched Ben Myers videos and they were helpful. But he had several wires in his break out board that he did not show where they came from. I’m getting there this is a great learning curve for me.
For the spindle you should only need pins 13 and 14 connected, if there were additional wires on the breakout board they could be for other things like a touch probe or to turn on a dust collector type load.
There is a post with all of the pin out info for the breakout board
The other issue I ran into was the settings for the max-spin, mine defaulted to or somehow I edited it to a value of 255 which resulted in any spindle speed value in Fusion 360 over 255 running at 24,000 RPM. Make sure it is set properly for your spindle… somehow mine was not.
