Hi,

My Heiz S1000 T controller box has just died a couple of days after it's 3rd birthday, so it is out of warranty.

I have checked it on my Multimeter & its getting 25V AC from the toroidal transformer but on the DC out side for the cooling fans its only reading 1.5V DC instead of 12V DC. Beyond this I am a bit lost but assume something on the power supply board has died, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am also wondering if I should take this opportunity to upgrade to a better stepper controller like the Gecko G540.

I am using Mach3 with a Smoothstepper, it seems from what I have read this works quite well with the G540.

Any advice on other controllers or how hard it is to integrate the G540 would be appreciated.

Cheers
