Ive got a G100 running the GeckoMotion (GM 20060605.bin) Firmware. Everything works fine so far, but I really want to be able to send GeckoMotion commands to...
RDUSB.asm and USBWR.asm are the two subroutines used in GeckoMotion to read data from and write data to the G100 USB port. RDUSB.asm checks the FT245BM USB...
Hi I am just starting to hook up a G100. I have plugged in a 12V external supply, the USB to PC and the ethernet cable to the router. No other connections at...
... You only need USB connected for the tester to work. You do need the correct Windows driver though, the one that presents the FTDI USB chip as a serial...
FYI: Steve is the gentleman that wrote the GrexTester.exe and was kind enough to offer it for free when used with the G100. If you plan to use Mach3 then you...
Thanks Steve. I had installed a new USB2 card. I'll try pulling it and reloading everything. Is a USB1 connection fast enough? If I start up without the...
... USB1.1 should be fast enough - it's 12 Mbits/sec. I'm pretty sure you can't type that fast ;) ... Durned if I know. I haven't hooked mine up to anything...
The LED marked 'RUN' is now a 'RESET' LED. The board silkscreen does not reflect this change. The G100 is ready for biz when the LED goes out. The LED shows...
Mariss I think I understand. When all the lights go down it is all OK. I'm afraid all the rest of your message is beyond me. I am trying to get to terms with...
Hi Guy's Well moved a little closer to a working machine yesterday, but have a problem. With spindle stopped, I can run motion Gcode, home, jog etc. through...
I've heard of people having problems with their vfd's before. They can send some noise back along the mains. Try to put a ferrite core around the input...
How do you connect the G100's analog output to your VFD drive? Mariss ... running ... which I have ... machine, and I ... They are ... ocuurs. ... isolated,...
Thanks I would have tried that, got bucket loads of toroids since I am a comms engineer and play a lot with emc stuff. But the problem still exists with the...
Hi Mariss. The problem occurs without the analogue output connected. But since 0.2 volts exists between the cabinet 0V, and my VFD 0V, and the VFD’s analogue...
I am getting a fault condition on my drives. I'm not an electronics genius by any means, so I'm sure the answer is simple, and common among novices like...
The reason is I have set the short-circuit threshold a little too low. I need to have the drive back to increase the threshold level about 10%. Mariss...
I am considering buying a 0-80V, 0-60 A power supply to run 3 MCG 33004 servo's they each can take upto 90 V and have a continuous amp need of 7.8A and peak...
No problem. Can I get them swapped for the rev 4 board also? I had planned on purchasing the multiplier boards after I was all set up and running, however...

Hi Mariss, ... I plan to use a RS23-500 (500oz/in ; 3.0 volts ; 3 Adc/Phase ; 1.2 Ohms ; 4 mH) But also a RT 34-640 (640oz/in ; 2.3 volts ; 5.5 Adc/phase ;...
... wow! 4800 watts of power! (arh, arh!). The Servos will probably use about 600w of that so you will have LOTS of reserve. Too bad you can't sell off the...
Tom, You're right again :-) I set up a JET 8 X 36 with the very same servos. One of them drives the knee up and down with 4:1 reduction. The power supply...
