Jens, It is very low, so any small power supply should work. Bob Campbell Bob Campbell Designs www.Campbelldesigns.com Mach 2/3 breakout boards Relay boards ...
Hi Guys: Is anyone reading the encoders or Analogues OK from rev 4 or the FPGA code? I seem to get zeros on everything. The inputs were giveing me zero's as...
Jens, It would be less that 100 ma. The 5 volts is used to turn on an optical isolator (Led). Bob Campbell Bob Campbell Designs www.Campbelldesigns.com Mach...
The 5VDC current for all our drives is: 0 mA when STEP=5V and DIRECTION=5V 16 mA when STEP=0V and DIRECTION=5V 16 mA when STEP=5V and DIRECTION=0V 32 mA when...
There are demo versions of SuperCamXp available at the following URL: http://www.super-tech.com/root/grp.asp?p1=SuperCamXp-Demo I have written this program to...
Hi, G101 instructions progress. I've had some nice progress over this weekend. The ISR portion was taken on first and it seems to run fine doing the following:...
Howdy, I need a single gecko for a stepper motor setup. I figured I would ask here, to see if anyone wanted to sell NOS first. email is the best way to contact...
Hi Mariss, when I understand this correctly then the PC software has to look up which axis of a multi-axis vector move is "slowest" and use that as master...
Hi Mariss, it just came to my mind that the homing procedure should be somehow configurable so that you can also do measurements with it: Case A Homing the...
No. The 'master' axis is the first one that appears in a command line. ... x1234<cr> means x is the master. A 1D move results. Vector length is sqrt(1234^2) =...
"3) Any 2 to 6 axis can be linked for 2D to 6D motion. Mix and match; one 4, 5 or 6D axis combination, two 3D axis combinations, three 2D axis combinations,...
... Let me answer this... yes you could run several machines, but you would be limited to one controlling PC. It would be possible to set up one PC as a...
Hi all, Rabbit has recently come out with a new core module, the RCM3750. This appears to be entirely compatible with the G-rex. I will try it out and report...
Mariss... Somewhere in the distant past i think you may have posted a method to identify some characteristics of servo motors. If it wasn't you then i'm sorry...
Thanks Steve, I was just envisioning two laptops running two different programs on two different machines at the same time. Would this be possible with a...
... Hi This nearly answers a question I was going to ask. Which is the most suitable Rabbit development module for use with the Grex? This is for commercial...
I am retrofitting and old PUMA robot arm, model 200 or 260. Having some trouble getting hookep up properly. Does anyone know if the encoders on these DC motors...
I have simple movements to send from a PLC (24V output) What happens if I send the pulses without any acceleration and deccelaration sequence to the input of...
It sounds like you have more than one problem going on. Look in your G320 manual (or d/l from website) and follow the directions in the "testing the encoder"...
incal99, What type of PLC are you using? The PLC we're using is an Omron, and in order to do our motor control (we need four axis of motion) we have to use a...
I did a PLC and a gecko... I used a DL06 from automation Direct with a High speed output mod. The machine that it is in has been running for 1.5 years and have...
Hi, I'm working from a bottom-up direction. The motion control routines are completely orthogonal and work nicely now at the ISR level. You can form up any...
Hi Mariss, instead of converting to floating point and back to integer it might be better to use a simple binary search algorithm. Roughly guess the result ...
... Another algorithm I've used is to just toggle individual bits in the result, starting at the highest. Remember that the result can only have half as many...
Bene, The reason for going to floating point is the sum of the squared terms. These terms can be as large as 4294967295 decimal each or 0xFFFFFFFF, a 4-byte...
... Note that those are signed numbers, so the maximum square is only 62 bits long. Since you're summing 6 of them, it only requires 8 bytes plus a carry....
