- Firmware version: [BOARD:SuperLongBoard_B5.0.5]
- Sender: gSender 1.4.8
Please tell me what the acronyms following the dropdown choices mean.
Were they meant to be numerical order.
The acronym is the firmware reporting specific functionality back.
V: Variable Spindle speed supported
D: Spindle Direction (M4) supported
S: Spindle at speed feedback supported
L: Spindle can control a laser (requires laser mode to be enabled in firmware)
I: Spindle PWM output can be inverted
R: Range Locked (min/max not inherited from firmware settings)
So DIV means you can swap spindle direction, invert output, and have variable speed on that specific spindle.
They are already in numerical order based on the firmwares internal PID, not what you have it enabled as.
They show up in the list based on PID - so SLB_SPINDLE = 0 and enabled as 0, MODVFD = 5 enabled as 3, SLB_LASER is 7 enabled as 1. This was a deliberate choice because internal PID will never change but what spindle you have it enabled as can.

To help everyone else out, I took Kevin’s well written explanation and added it into the docs now
