I have three of these motors and they are fitted with renco 1024ppr encoders. Although they work, I have USDigital 500ppr encoders to use with my Gecko 320s....
... Well, with the setup you have you can basically treat it like a stepper motor that has 4096 steps per revolution. So in order to get that motor to turn...
thanks! I'll be using Mach2 So as I understand it, I will need to go with a lower ppr rating as Mach2 cannot (at this time) reach above 45khz? ... 1024ppr ... ...
... I've never used Mach2, but yes. So you could go with say 250ppr encoders. If you have to buy new encoders though it's probably cheaper to get the pulse...
Hi All, I have this hefty servo motor and can't find (after many searches) any information regarding its operating specifications. How does one go about...
I'm using a PMDC motor(Similiar to Baldor or Pacific scientific), 1/2 hp,2NM, 90v, about 5A, 1800rpm and convert to servo with a US digital 250 ppr mount on...
Someone here might mention the motor tuning relationship.... What were your solutions (one by one) to the problems you had? I'm watching for how your situation...
I had met the problem of servo amp always error/Y axis motor jumping problem, I had connect the common wire (5v from PC) and error/reset wire by jumping the...
I just discovered this project and joined the group about 5AM this morning. I reviewed the documents and circuits and believe I can contribute in the project. ...
Jon, Good to have you on board. As soon as I finish up with the new G204V step motor drive, this group will become very active again with the G2002 motion...
I just finished assembling a camtronics controller box with Gecko 320's in it. After testing for appropriate voltage I hooked up the servo motors to the...
It certainly is not normal. It means the drive is not "seeing" the encoder. Check your wiring. Mariss ... 320's in it. After testing for appropriate voltage I...

correction: John wrote: ......with the encoder connected,.... should be ....with the encoder DISCONNECTED ..... ..also, Please, if I misunderstand, correct...
... Encoders are not connected. So spinning motors IS normal. Michael: A 320 servo drive works by comparing where the motors are supposed to be (as determined...
So if I understand correctly I basically just need to complete the wiring from the encoder to the G320, not necessarily from the G320 to the PC software to...
I think you missed the statement "The thing that surprised me was that the motor just starts spinning even though no connection is hooked up to the encoder." ...
Duh.. I gotta learn how to read! What everyone said after my ill considered reply is correct. Mariss ... hooked up ... the ... Estop and ... Gecko ... yet...
Dolphin have now established a website for the promotion of their Hobbyist CADCAM software products. This site gives product details, prices and downloads and...
Thanks for the help understanding all this. I've got all 3 servo's to lock now. On to the PC side of the system. Michael A. Abbott Cell: 713-446-5063 ...
Well, working on understanding how to hook this up to the PC and was wondering if it's ok to draw the +5v for the common port from the PC parallel port or is...
That would be fine, except that the parallel port doesn't have 5V on it. :-) Usual recommendations are: Game port, USB port, or tap into an internal disk drive...

Actually, a serial port doesn't have +5V available. Only +12V or -12V, depending on the logic state of the particular signal. Some machines have better...
... Nope, nothing like that. The original lines to the printer were twisted pair, with each pair having it's own ground at the pin. That's good design...
I am setting up a 3 axis router with G320s and a Soundlogic breakout board driven by Mach 2. My issue is that I can only jog the axes in the positive...
