Hello, I got my Campbell board, G340's wired up and my servos mounted on the machine. Worked just fine. Moved on to wire up my VFD and spindle motor. Came...
It's nearly a week after the close of the First Anual CNC-Workshop and things here at my shop are still not back to normal - Real soon now, however - We even...
The 2002 is not what you need, even if it is real(which I am not sure of at the moment). The 2002 will be a step pulse generator, which will need to drive a...
Just got done installing a 240 volt 2 HP 3 phase 1740 RPM spindle motor & Mitsubishi VFD. The inverter readout will give volts & amps figures sent to the...
... depends ... typically a motor will have a "power factor" between 0.5 and 0.8 .. power factor is cos(phi) where phi is the anglular difference (lag in an...
... There is no general formula. The problem is power factor. At no load, AC induction motors draw current at nearly 90 degrees to the voltage waveform, ...
Thanks for the reply. I was aware of the cooling problem at slow motor speeds, have a 6" 24 volt round muffin fan I'm going to bolt to the top of the motor...
Hi Group I intend to use this for my three stepper motors. I already have one power supply in place. I`d like to eliminate the second power supply to give me...
Hi, I am using 3 Geckos on my router for about 4 months, no problem at all. Yesterday, i switched on the machine, jog a few seconds, switched off and then...
I'm in the market for a pulse generator. I was going to purchase a normal breakout board, but from what I've seen the G200X would be much better since I can...
I see in the first paragraph of the G2002 Manifesto that the project is to be open source. I wonder if there would be any consideration of a program that is ...
David: Mach3 is being integrated for the G100 (the new name of the g200x). SO far I have jogging and I/O, and in about a week or so I will be making a push to ...
Hello: Am I missing something...I hear talk of G202's but on Gecko website it doesn't list them? I am going to be buying drivers next Monday and would like to...
G202 can handle volatge from 24-80 volt, I suggest to choose the stepper motor and try multiply by20-24 from the voltage of the motor, then build the power...
The Gecko G202 is an evolution of the G201 that has better protection circuitry that helps prevent failures due to mis-wiring and other flaws. It is available...
I also am using Gecko drives but the G201's. Your power supply should be 4 to 30 times the voltage of your steppers. So the most voltage your motor should be...
Johnny, Just call Gecko. They may have some in stock. I bought four a coup[le of weeks ago. 24 volts may not be enough depending on the motors that you are...
The prize is behind the first door. :-) The G202 and G212 are being added to our www.geckodrive.com website. They should appear in the next few days as soon as...

Captain Burns, How are things in Florida ? Jim ... From: "captrburns" <craftcare@...> To: <geckodrive@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005...
Several questions which probably everyone but me already knows the answer to. What is the reason one would use a G210 instead of a G201? That is, what...
<after an hour, I assume Yahoo lost my post, so here it is again> The basic G201 (or G202) will always use 10 step microstepping. While this is great for...
The basic G201 (or G202) will always use 10 step microstepping. While this is great for smoothness, it can sometimes place too much of a demand on the computer...
Steve Stallings: 1.8 degree stepper, 5 tpi screw, full step (200*5)=1000 steps per inch. With Gecko 210 set for 5 microsteps... steps per inch should be 4000? ...
... inch. ... 4000? ... Ah.... 1000 full steps per inch is correct assuming the motor is direct coupled or 1:1 belt/pulley connected to the screw. Then 5...
Thank you Steve, I guess what confused me was the way it was written in Marriss' white paper on steppers where he is referring to figure 6. "Eight-wire motors...
