+**2. RS485 Implementation Detail (4-Core Shielded)**
+It allows for digital precision (no voltage drift), real-time RPM feedback, and the ability to monitor VFD temperature and current via the FluidNC Web UI.  
+To ensure zero-error communication at 24,000 RPM, the RS485 cable must be paired as follows:
+
+1. **Signal Pair:** [RS+] and [RS-] must share a single twisted pair to maximize differential noise cancellation.
+2. **Reference Pair:** Both wires of the remaining twisted pair are joined for [GND] to provide a stable common-mode reference between the PiBot and VFD logic.
+3. **Shielding:** The drain wire/braid is connected to the VFD Earth terminal (PE) only. The PiBot side of the shield is left floating (cut and insulated) to prevent ground loops.
+4. VFD Config (Huanyang):
+Set PD001=2 and PD002=2 for RS485 control.
+Set PD163=1, PD164=1, PD165=3 for 9600 baud communication.
+5. Wiring:
+PiBot [A] → VFD [RS+]
+PiBot [B] → VFD [RS-]
+PiBot [GND] → VFD [DCM] (If required)
+Shield → VFD PE (Earth Ground screw)
