how many gecko drivers can be run off one pc with the printer port is the max 4axis? how you get round this if you need 5 axis ie maybe for a router lather with index chuck etc
If one needs more than 4 axis with printer port
264.0 Minimum HoldingTorque(oz-in) (HT23-400 motor)
does a break box help?
newbie thanks
You add a second parallel port on a PCI card. I think you can run 7 Geckos independently. 6 axis + 1 step/dir spindle.
