Hi, In the G101 manual encoder inputs seem to have RC lowpass filter formed from 49.9 kOhm resistor and 33 pF capacitor. That gives ~100 kHz analog bandwidth...
Newbie questions: 1. Does the G-Rex replace the need for 4 separate G320s, in a 4-axis servo mill configuration? 2. Since you connect directly to the Rex,...
33pF and 50K is a 1.65uS time constant. The inverse of 1.65uS is 600kHz, the inputs are quadrature X4 decode so the max count frequency is 2.4MHz. Mariss...
Hi Sir, The G100 is more like a fancy (software is in development, and costs extra) break out board (BOB), you would still need one servo or stepper drive per...
Hello, I have just installed a Geckodrive, I connected the four wires like it says in the instructions and ignored the fifth (I couldn't see anything in the...
Brilliant James. My mate BOB (Hatton) applies Nitrous Oxide injection to everything, and quite often a big turbo charger. I have felt many times in the past...
Hi Mark, I am getting a little miffed at this whole adventure in CNC. It is clearly not as easy to learn, and appears to be less stable and reliable then I...
... James I don't use a G100 yet, but I get on average 12 hours a day 7 days a week use out of Mach, and this following week it will be more like 16 hours a...

Didn't mean to push you further down James. Seems the G100 is getting stable now with Mach, though G92's don't work with successive entries. There are several...
... I've been using Mach2 and then Mach3 regularly without any problems, my lathe hasn't had any settings changed in probably over two years. It continues to...
I'd avoid hypergolic propellants if I were you. Nitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine are unpleasant substances. Mariss ... and watch ... down! ... extra) ... drive...
A firm up the road makes the jets for Hydrazine steering nozzles for Nasa, I think there carbide, EDM worked. It's always sounded like good stuff to play with....
Hi Jim, I have 2 Wells-Index knee mills that I run day in and out without any problems for well over 2 years now. The first mill started out with DC servos...

Thanks ED Many many of us need this from time to time. This forum and the others are all supporting problems that seem quite heavy and insurmountable to quite...

Hi, I've been doing a few things this weekend: 1) Decimating the G203V design for the next revision. Decimating means optimizing the design with a goal of...
Hi Wayne, Thanks for the good report, it truly helps me keep going. Are you using a PP setup? What kind of drives? Thanks again, Jim C. Wayne Weedon...
Hi Steve, I am glad to hear of your successes! Do you have confidence when you run your system that nothing unexpected will occur? I don't have a PP setup to...
Hi Ed, Great to hear your victory! I am not giving up, just a little frustrated. I guess see not only my problems, but reading the posts of others got me...
Thanks Jeff, I am enjoying the good news, but it all seems to be PP related Jim C. Jeff Demand <jdemand@...> wrote: James, 202's on one machine, allegro...

Sounds like you have been enjoying yourself. It is very satifying to come up with a clean and efficient circuit design. Just a thought - would it be cheaper to...
Hi All If I want to test a driver/motor's ability to move a load, I need to feed some pulses into the drive. But I don't want to use a PC everytime this needs...
