Please copy & paste GDtool event log text for me after attempted connection.

Tero-
I installed the cable checker utility, and the cable passed.
I also installed the GDTool v2.51 on a second computer and tried to connect to the servo drives. I still get a communication error.
What should I try next?

Tero-
Here is some additional information.
I worked in the shop today trying to figure this out. I swapped the drives for x and a axis. Then tried to move the servos with the pinions not attached to the rack. Everything work great. I swapped the drives back to their original position. Everything worked as it should. I then connected the gearboxes to the rack. I slowly jogged the x and a axis, the gradually increased speed. Still there were zero faults.
I might of had a bad connection on one of the pins, or a damaged connector, but for whatever reason it is working.
I tried to read out the drive parameters using GDTool, but had zero luck.
I will send you the log files tonight when I get back working on it.
Thanks
Steve
Tero-
back to square one. The motor will only run for 5-10 inches then it gets a fault.
I tried several times to connet to the communication port of the drives. I also disconnected the HV, the motor and the encoder connections to limit any type of noise.
here is a copy of the log.
What else can I try?

Tero-
Any news or ideas I can try?
Steve
Hmm, from log it seems that return data contains always zero bits only. That's why GDtool says connection fails. However, reason why that happens can't be analyzed from log. It should not if cable works and drive is in SPI mode (connection routine strictly followed and electrical connection is ok).
Its also unlikely that communication optoisolators both drives somehow failed at same moment.
Here is additional cable test: plug USB cable in computer and measure voltage between black and red wires. There should be about 5VDC.
Tero-
I will try that tonight. I went ahead and ordered a new cable last week. It should be here thur or Fri.
Stece
Tero-
I checked the voltage on several of the USB ports, and the voltages were 5.0 and 5.1
I tried again tonight to communicate between x,a,z and none of them would communicate.
Steve
Hmm, that is weird. What could have changed since it worked last time?
More tests to isolate the problem:
* Try GDflasher utily to test communication to drives. Also you may try flashing firmware to drives, it will reset all saved settings (if that would help).
* Unplug all unnecessary USB devices from computer. If some other device has FTDI brand chip, it may get mixed with TTL232 cable.
* Try GDtool on another computer (just in case it's software/driver/windows issue)
Please let me know how the tests went.
Tero
Where can I find the firmware and the GDFlasher utility?
I received the USB cable today, so I will try it tonight.
I have tried two computers with the same results.
Tero-
I tried the GDFlasher utility, with the new and old cable on two different drives. Neither of these would connect.
On the drive when I would turn it off and back on according to the directions, the Green led turned on and the Red led would flash.
What is the next step?
Steve
