 OpenBuilds BlackBox includes a 0-10v Analog Signal Voltage output that can be used to control spindles/other toolheads that need a 0-10v signal to run. OpenBuilds BlackBox includes a 0-10v Analog Signal Voltage output that can be used to control spindles/other toolheads that need a 0-10v signal to run.

   * To Activate the signal, send an M3 Sxxx where X=0-1000 (1000 = default Grbl configuration, or send S=what you have set for $30 - Max spindle speed, RPM). For example, to have a 10v output send M3 S1000, to have a 5v output send M3 S500, to have a 1v output send M3 S100 etc. (NB scale accordingly if your $30 is not '1000')   * To Activate the signal, send an M3 Sxxx where X=0-1000 (1000 = default Grbl configuration, or send S=what you have set for $30 - Max spindle speed, RPM).

 +This example uses RELAY1 as the Tool Enable, RELAY2 as FWD/REV and the 0-10V Output as speed CONTROL to control the VFD's activation, direction and speed respectively. 
  
 +Every VFD brand labels their inputs slightly differently, and they all have different parameters to essentially set up the same features, but as can be seen from the diagram above, and cross referencing your VFD manual, you should also be able to adapt to other VFDs as well - almost all VFDs accept a dry contact enable/fwd/rev signal, and analog voltage 0-10v speed signal.
