Hi Peter
Thanks for taking care. I have a 800W water cooled spindle withe VFD (so i think i will need to use the RS485 module if i want to do more than on/off the spindle). I want to use a probe may be the corner edge version (over just Z depth probe). I have 4 leadshine external driver and will use for switch for homing.
6 pack controller, 4 input module, rs245 module, external driver adapters, the probe can be used on any one of the available GPIO pins without a module. The nice thing is that there are 3 more module slots incase you want to add any features at some point in the future. Do you know what type of VFD you have I know right now there is full support for the Huanyang VFD's. Using this type will minimize any bugs that haven't been worked out for other VFD's.
I'll give you a sample machine.h later on to get you started if that helps you.
Hi Peter, here is my combo : GPenny 800W watercooled spindle and 1.5Kw Huangyang
Yes thats awesome... I'm not sure where you are located but instead of the relay you may consider something like the ADAFRUIT Power Strip which can accept 3.3v or 5v signal form the controller to turn your accessories on and off.

It all depends on what voltage your accessories are.
Peter did you have a link for more details about configuration _ espacialy RS485 - huangyang module?

Also what's your email I can send an invite to the GRBL_ESP32 discord
