Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

Hi Mike,
Thank you. I have never used an oscilloscope before. I have no idea even where to buy one, the type I need or even where to start.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

Thanks for the input I will look at these.

Tblough - something for you to read and explain, thanks. If it is Part of the advertising that it is supported, when updates are made by 3rd Party companies up to date testing may be required.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

In the end it always rests with the end user. Thank you for pointing out that there is no certainty that the Geckodrives are 100 per cent compatible.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

Each drive was tested separately connected using to a 214 and each ran smoothly. I tested each motor with each drive with the same result. The information for each motor was complete. Each drive was checked with every micostep setting with each drive both singlely, then as pairs and finally all 3 to...

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

I am sorry, that you totally missed what I was asking you to test.
Three drives, three motors under load at the same time to simulate a 3-axis machine. It is nice that you tested what you wanted to prove and succeeded.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

Many questions unanswered. Centroid testing only echoed what I already said I managed to accomplish. Three axis were tested together No tests under load were done Why do Gecko 201 drives work and 214 with the revised wiring do not? I have been running 2-201's and 1 - 214 since July but couldn't swit...

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

I get it, but it is time to make a call when you have 400 hours and $800 thrown at a problem that never got resolved. I have one drive running fine right now and it has been for 5 months. The problem arose when a three had to work together. Testing a single drive on one setting for a few moments ans...

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn

Okay, thanks Marty. They were shipped back early this morning. Moot Point. The idea was to run two motors concurrently but oh well.
