Hi Mariss, I need help with Gecko 320. I had purchased 3gecko 320 and 1 gecko 201. For power supply, 48vdc 10amp and external 5vdc for the encoder hook up. I...
Hi If you use external power supply for encoder you must connect 470 Ohm resistor from term6 to term7 Natale ... From: you tran To: geckodrive@yahoogroups.com...
The more I read about the G2002 project, the more interested I am! I was wondering if there's a scheduled release date, or a website associated with this...
Natale, Yes and NO. I used one for my first power feed. The problem is that they don't like reverse (at least the one that I had) as there is no thrust bearing...
... the inital release is already out there/here ... feel free to order one from Mariss and join in the compiler fun. ... yes ... you are already on it :) ......
A quick question before I crack open my 320 and start poking about with a scope: The drive behaves normally (fault light goes out, motors engage) but do not...
IF you apply the 5v and a signal and nothing happens I would check the opto isolator inside the Gecko first. Jim ... From: "ndyvo4" <ndyvo4@...> To:...
... +5V from an external supply that shares a ground with the PC. I was using the +5V from PS2 port on the computer. That port developed a problem of some...
Hi, Today I finally tested two of the G320s I purchased some some months ago, but I'm having some instability problems: I ordered motors with 1024ppr encoders...
Hi Fernando. how much per each motors ? Could you send me please (privately) data sheet, price and shop where ...? Regards Natale nnovello@... ... From:...
Hi Fernando, With a 4096 ppr encoder that gives you just 45.51 counts per degree of shaft rotation. Since the Gecko 320 only allows an error count of +-128...
Actually these are 1024 line encoders that produce 4096 step pulses per rotation using a G320 and I mean't 256line to get 1024 pulses per rotation... ... of...
I am starting on my bridgeport boss what breakout board to use. Campbell designs,PMDX,Larken,Axxus tech,any others.What drives to use 201 or 210 thanks Ken...
... Only personally speaking, but go for Bob Campbell's board and 210's! Only heard good reports on Bob's stuff, and have had no problems with 210's - can't...
Ken, I am doing a retro on a BOSS4 using the Campbell Breakout Board, the Campbell Rely Board and (as recommended by Mariss) the Gecko 201 drives. Don ... use...
Hello Ken & Don, I too am getting ready to retrofit a Boss3 with Gecko 201's & Jon Elson's Universal Stepper Board. I'm planning on trying EMC or cncZeus for...
Have yet to purchase a Gecko but want to know if, when I retrofit my mill, how I can still have DRO capablity while running the mill manually? Also, how can a...
Hi: The gecko will fault out if its position is sensed as wrong by 128 counts or so I think. The only way a gecko can get out of position is if the pulse lines...
The first thing you would need is a DRO that can work from the encoder that the Geckodrive uses. I'm considering designing one for my own use. Basically,...
What about just disconnecting the encoder from the Geckodrive for manual use, and turning off the Geckodrive? This way the encoder is attached EITHER to the...
Conversations appear to have slowed down, over 400 a few months ago and this month only 25 so far..... Is everyone busy working with their G2002 ? What's...
Hi, Gary: I can think of several reasons.... The Gecko drives are designed to discourage questions - they work out of the box so there's no need for any... ...
Well, Jerry, I'm busy making repairs around the house, if that tells you anything.... The G2002 is very interesting to me, I wish I was up to snuff on Dynamic...
... There was almost no interest. Two, maybe three replies. Someone suggested $99 which isn't possible (citing that's what DC costs in dev kit, whose logic I...
Art, It's "quiet" because it's tough to type while wearing a straight jacket. I quit smoking about 36 days, 18 hours, 22 minutes and 14 seconds ago, more or...
