... This is probably a very foolish question. I just pulled an old 201 Rev A (15 revisons old ???) from my bins (years old but as they say, new-old stock) it's...
Hi all I have just hooked up a servo to a g320 drive I have fitted the servo with a 500 ppr us digital encoder. Testing the motor i found that the encoder is...
And did you put the 470 ohm resistor across the enc+ term 6 and 7 the enc- terminals on the Gecko G320 as required by the G320 data sheet. Dan Mauch Camtronics...
Some testing has shown up errors in the step generator :-( This affects release 0.5B which was recently uploaded. 0.5B was intended to fix truncated step...
OK, the file is in now. Since it was such a trivial fix (missing XOR gate) I've left is as release 0.5B. Please try uploading using the DLM to see if it fixes...
Hi Steve Looking Good :) After a 6000 line Gcode program I lost 0 Steps in X 2 Steps in Y and 3 steps in Z. I had it set to 1000 steps per mm. I will try some...
Hi Steve Ran the same program 6000 line gcode program again three times and is showing 0 steps lost :) the loss of steps the first time may have been my fault...
... Ethernet ... mask. ... firmware ... TCP ... How do you do this? Are you talking about using the Mach3 plug-in and firmware, or can I issue GeckoMotion...
... Hi Steve, Hope the key shaped dents in your forehead have smoothed out by now. I don't right software but I certainly have been there with other projects...
Hello G100/Mach3 experts, I would like to make sure I have the latest firmware and FPGA config for my G100? Were are these items available for download? I am...
Hi all,
servall years (1998 I think) ago i got some Gecko Drives (G210) which work
fine at starting.
After 2 years they don’t work fine in Half Step-Mode.
I...
Hi to everyone! I am about to retrofit a Bridgeport mill with stepper motors and I would like to know if the G203V is already available to buy and how much it...
Hello Could you advice me what servo motor should I choose to work with CNC oxygen cutting machine to work corectly with gecko drive and CNC machine (the...
Hi cant get through to gecko (spamcop) on their sales line perhaps someone here can answer my query: I'm looking to purchase a servo drive suitable for a small...
Lifetime warrantee? Please let me know what drives you buy have a lifetime warrantee; maybe we are missing a bet here. Your friend who records phone calls was...
Not yet. The pcb panels are in, the solder paste stencil gets in Monday. The machine runs Wednesday and two weeks later the first G203Vs become available. ...
Hmmm...the term "Lifetime warranty" (shouldn't be spelt "warrantee" as that would be referring to the person that is the recipient of the warranty) has always...
You are probably better off using a servo drive rated for smaller motors. Apologies to Mariss for mentioning another company's products on his forum but the...
Hi Les and Fred, I don't see a reason why not to use G3XXs for this size of motors. I sucessfully use geckos even for very small Faulhaber motors of only 22mm ...
Put it this way: the accuracy is near 0.5% at full scale. 1% at half scale, 2% at quarter and so on. If you really need high res at low speeds, use gearing....
Hi all, I have 3 G201's and want to wire the disable through a relay. Since pin 12 is power supply ground, couldn't I just run one wire from each 201(pin7)...
Hi all, I managed to get some work done on the upcoming fpga/firmware release for the G100. This message is intended as a starting point for questions and ...
... It is not specific to any PC software. There is a library being developed (open source C++, open platform) which will encapsulate most G100 functionality....
... There are no "arcs" normally in thread cutting - the infeed/outfeed is at a precise angle, the cut is normally advanced by just less than half the included...
Steve, in my ignorance I used the wrong term. By "infeed" I meant the phase of movement used to accelerate the tool up to the point where it is ready to cut....
