I have numerous g201 drives that have a disable pin that allows one to turn off power to the stepper motor by making this pin low. I also have some g212 models...
G201/G210 DISABLE: This input freewheels the motor while shorted to terminal 12. G202/G212 RESET: This input clears the short-circuit protection latch and...
... Mariss On this subject does the short circuit protection work during use or only on power up? Just some "other" drives seem to only offer it at power up. ...
Doug, Attached is the VB6 code. It basically initializes the GREX and allows you to input whatever commands. Make sure that you installed the FT245BM ...

Does the GRex support parallel axis, eg two independent motors and drives controlling a single axis? This is how my gantry machine is going to be driven, two...
Hi, I uploaded a short video that has an axis tooling along at 3,932 IPM. Please go to: http://www.geckodrive.com/product.cfm?pid=19 Then pick 3900IPM.avi....
Is that how these configurations are normally driven? I was expecting to keep them separate in case of errors, and for fine tuning of squareness with the y...
Hi there. I think the issue is that the motors may not need to do exactly the same thing, all of the time. For initial setup, and possibly for homing, it may...

Hi, I have updated the "GeckoMotion Manual060606.pdf" to reflect the latest firmware changes. It uses the new YYMMDD format as a date code. I will in the...
Mariss, come now don't be modest: 1.666m/s is closer to 100,000mm/min, not a measly 10,000. Interesting thing is that this will make the axis components the ...
Steve, Yeah, well I got kind of excited and slipped a decimal point. About axis components: The 1-TPI stage used in the video requires 11 in-oz to turn CW, 9.8...
