gecko 210
I'm looking at the gecko 210 for the start of my mechmate (found 4 at a relatively cheap price). How would these work for my project. Keep in mind that I plan on building a 60" x 144" for making cabinet parts.
Thanks Mick |

They will work, but you will be safer in converting those drives to G201 first, by removing the step multiplier
See manual: http://www.geckodrive.com/upload/G210-REV-11-MANUAL.pdf The step multiplier has been known to accumulate errors. |

Gerald, I'm assuming you mean to physically remove the multiplier from the board. The instructions do not cover this:
"MULTIPLIER OPTION HEADER The G210A has a built in STEP PULSE MULTIPLIER. This circuit makes the G210 selectable for full-step, half-step, 5 microstep and 10 microstep operation. In all cases the motor will move with microstep smoothness. Use the MULTIPLIER HEADER to select the desired resolution. Do not operate the drive without a jumper." Am I right? |
