OK lets see....
Sol, yes, X and Z were unaffected. I actually had my Y axis running off the Z gecko last night. My Z axis isn't converted yet, so it's open.
I'm assuming the 5v was hot. I'm pulling it from the PC driving the geckos.
Everything on the gecko seems to work, except getting power to the motor. The fault light turns on when power is first applied. Clear the faults and X axis would energize (Z axis wasn't hooked up). Y axis motor can be spun by hand. But when spun just a little, it causes the fault light(s) to come on on the gecko (it faults when the encoder is 128 counts off, right?). So the encoder is getting power. Just not arm -/+.
Ok, that was the easy stuff. Now what about the hard stuff? |
