Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn
Followed the drawing. Only 4 wires. Bad motor? It works when wired to a g201.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn
I can only speak to the drive I tested. There is a second one, I will check it tomorrow.

Please consider this unresolvable.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn
I just had time today to check the second GR214V. No issue. It behaves the same as the first one.
However, I noticed the microstep dipswitch settings on the UART+Standby marked unit are reversed from the non marked unit.
In any case both drives work fine with Acorn

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.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn
Not moot really.
Just pointing out that the GR214v drives do work well with Centroid Acorn.

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 answers very little in the scheme of things. Hopefully, no else encounters this problem.

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 switch the 201's for 214's, why?
All suggestions and changes since July have been carried out and the problem still persisted.
I have attached a copy of this thread for the people at Geckodrive to review and see if they have any insight.

Re: Gecko 214 Wiring Diagram To Acorn
Are all the stepper motors the same make and model, all windings connected in the same manner?
