>>I think we have only got evidence of 4 motor wires.
Yep, sorry. I missed that in the previous message. Since the driver board is named Chop... something I bet it is a true chopper drive board. Still I'd at least dump the drive boards, keep the power supply and go with something like this.. times 3. http://geckodrive.com/product.aspx?c=3&i=14471 The Gecko G540 would be a good fit also and require even less wiring. Isn't there a G540 configuration in the latest EMC2 setup? That would be pretty easy to setup. If those are round stepper motors and 1980's vintage they have probably lost a lot of magnetism. New Bipolar stepper motors would be best. Of course if money is tight.. then ....?? Geckodrive had a big sale a few months ago. Didn't they have their big sale just prior to Xmas last year? I thought they might put on another pre-Xmas sale...... I mean.what am I going to put in the stockings .... ;-) Dave Andy Pugh wrote: > 2009/12/10 Chris Radek <[email protected]>: > > >> Judging by the four TIPxxx transistors and MTR1_PH[1-4] on that first >> pinout, I bet these are full step or half step unipolar drives and >> motors. >> > > I think we have only got evidence of 4 motor wires. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
