Geckos 101

Mariss,

Why is it that you don't design and sell a Gecko-to-pc interface card with a parallel connector and some inputs/outputs? I know some others make them but some people like to buy everything together for compatibility/simplicity.

Just a thought. It seems an easy way to make another buck or two.

Eric,

Three reasons:

1) Other people already build "breakout" boards for the G201/G210 and G320/G340 drives. See www.campbelldesigns.com

2) Most of our drives (>80%) go to OEM accounts that run them from something other than PCs.

3) About the I/O. We have a major new product coming soon. It is a 6-axis, USB powered motion controller called the G2002.

Unlimited step pulse frequencies, true 3-D continuous path contouring, a boatload of I/O, etc. for about $200 (with 3 axis, $350 for all 6 axies).

Mariss,
Any idea when more information will become available on the new unit?Also, a tentative release date?
I'm looking more for info like max volts/max current etc. just so I know whether I should plan on being one of the first in line
