hi, I am willing to go for a gecko G201 4 axis system (X axis with 2 steppers). I would like your advise on 3 things: 1 - can I use 2 power supplies (one for 2 motors) 2 - if I use only one supply which capacity it shall have knowing that I want to achieve high torque at high speed because my machine gantry is heavy (30-40kg). I beleive I will use steppers parallel connected. 3- Am I missing something to run the system? here are the details of what I may intent to use: - steppers: 860 oz. in.motor for Z axis then for X and Y, 3 steppers: No. of wires=4, Bipolar Volts= 3.0, Amps=6.0, Ohms=0.5, Holding torque=8.5Nm. 0r 1200 oz-in - breackout board: CNC4PC C1G parallel port interface - 4pcs G201 drives - Power supply: big question... http://cgi.ebay.com/48V-11A-400W-Pow...742.m153.l1262 see my questions above... if you'd like to see my machine (currently running on Xylotex): http://www.raptor-rc.com/cnc.htm thanking you in advance for your advises. |

| About 16-20 amps, and for voltage, use 32 x sq rt of the motors inductance.
