HELP!! I have my router all wired up but there is no movement. I've been trying to troubleshoot and from I can tell my wiring is correct, my parallel cable is right, and Mach 3 is configured correctly. I starting to wonder if maybe it's a power issue. Here's what I know/have Gecko 540 Keling KL23H284-35-4B motors Keling KL350-4B power supply While reading the support docs for the Gecko it states that to find the power needed for the motors you multiply the square of the motors inductance by 32. According to Keling's docs the inductance for my motors are 4.1 which would mean a needed voltage of 64.8 VDC which according to Gecko is beyond the 50VDC the G540's can handle. My power supply is currently providing 48 VDC. I must be missing something obvious, this is all new to me. Thanks, Steve |

| Your voltage is correct, maximum voltage for the G540 is 50V The 381 oz-in KL23H2100-35-4B would be a better match at 2.8mh. This won't stop the motors from moving. What LEDs are lit on the G540?

| The fault light is off, only the green power led and red leds for the trim are lit. When everything is powered up it's harder to hand turn the motors then when there is no power, but I can hand turn them. Another odd thing is with my e-stop switch. If I trigger it Mach recognized the trigger just fine and I can reset Mach by setting the e-stop to active low but in order to reset the G540 I have to power it off as well as reboot the PC. I used my multimeter on the switch and it works correctly. I have it wired on the NC side (the switch has both NO & NC terminals). Oh, I bought this motor / power supply combo from Keling as they sell it as a kit with the Gecko. I bought my G540 used but figured the motor and p/s were a good match since they are sold as a kit.
