... question is so vague as to defy formulating a coherent answer.:-) I gotta use that one.. :) Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca Videos And Support Forums...
Mariss, I have noticed upon powering up the G100 the step led dose sometimes blink. I conected a scope to the X axis step line and powered the G100 up a couple...
Since the fpga outputs are all high-impedance at power-up, you are probably seeing a time delay effect as charge leaks one way or the other to change the state...
Stephen, I am in full agreement with you, I just posted this so other may have this information. As it stands I will be using the G100 with G202 drives that...
A few steps at bootup are not important. However the digital outputs going high until the firmware has booted is IMHO a very bad idea. Ideally there should be...
How about just a fibre optic cable over the LED? Robert ... From: "gerald_dorrington" <gdpost@...> To: <geckodrive@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday,...
Thanks Steve for taking the time. All I needed was a memory jogger, heck all I really needed would have been a "check the manual" but guess that is too hard...

The FPGA already has a watchdog that behaves similarly to the Mach 'charge pump'. If it is enabled and the Rabbit misses an interrupt it will stop the motors...
I understand twisted pair shielded is the way to go on these... what is best size of wire to use - awg? 5.5 amps 1.8 degree 5'x10' plasma table Darren Lucke...
Darren, 18 gage is fine. I normally use shielded wire. Automation Direct sells unshielded wire with their stepper motors. If you have trouble finding the wire...
Bob, SOunds good... another question is how flexible is this alpha stuff? I saw a post but forget which list about star quad recently that they utilize for ...
Darren, The wire is what you need and is very flexible. I will have plenty of it when you need some. My control box project is coming along on schedule. I...
Hey got my first Gecko Drive for testing a G210. And the little fellow in the box was a hit with my girl here......A clever marketing ploy. And I got it (G210)...

In my opinion, any gage wire is fine so long as it doesn't get warm. The only effect of wiring is it's resistance. Step motors draw the most current when they...

I have 2 older g320's and 1 newer one, they seem to be the same in all ways except one. in between the fault led and the gain there are different markings....
I want to use the encoders on my servo motors as DRO's on a 2 axis machine. What is the best way to split the signal from the encoder between the Gecko 320...
Power all your encoders from the PC +5VDC supply. Opto-isolate CH_A, CH_B from the encoder using a dual high-speed opto per axis, emitters to ENC-, collectors...
Hello, I am really interested in finding some sample code with regard to the G100 controller. I presently have 2 of the gecko 201's driving some NEMA23 ...
I need to verify that if I drive a stepping motor to a remote position but expecting a switch input, that I can ask for position on switch input. I guess that...
Not sure on the handling of switches with gecko motion. You can use the GPI's to watch the state , but not sure about how to assign them to stop motion upon...
