Woo, if you don't mind, be very thorough with the electronics part (pictures and all), I'm going to get into that in few weeks and I'm a bit terrified, lol I'm going with G540 and Keling's as well.

joecnc2006 · #9 02-24-2009, 07:57 PM

Don't forget to heatsink the G540, there have been issuse's on the larger amp motors and Gecko just did testing on this issue this week and posted a writeup.

geckodrive doesnt sell a heatsink for the 540 where could i get one that would mount to it easy

joecnc2006 · #11 02-24-2009, 11:09 PM

In his experiment he did not find any difference using a heatsink and using a 120mm fan blowing on it. or use a computer heatsink with fan attached to it, and use adhesive thermo.

I ordered a 120mm 48 volt dc fan to put on my gecko and also got my router and new computer case in today . I will have pictures of the router bed today. I also should have almost everything glued and ready for paint by friday.
