 *Please Note*
 
While the Nighthawk can interface with most VFDs and Laser modules on the market, CNC3D cannot offer technical support for any 3rd party appliances, you should contact your vendor or manufacturer for help with these items.
 
Some VFDs, Like Huanyang (HY) and Invertek VFD's may only allow the VFD to run one direction, not both, i.e: clockwise only.  
 
All Nighthawk Controllers are tested and QC Checked prior to being shipped, this includes a VFD and Laser control test as well as all wireless communications. If a controller does not pass our testing it does not leave our factory.
