Title: current set resistor
Post by: guynamedbathgate on September 17, 2007, 06:14:56 PM
trying to figure out what size current set resistor I need for my Gecko G210 drivers and the formula on the PDF is making my eyes go crossed. not as good at math as Id like to be for sure. Isnt there a chart that can tell me, I mean its only a range of 1-7 amps I mean thats like a seven line chart?
anyhow does any one know off hand what size resistor to use to set it for 1 amp motors.
Thanks.  ::)

8.2K for 1Amp, used to be printed on the drives case, maybe its not there on the latest ones?

man do I feel dumb. yep all I had to do was flip a page or turn around and look into my other control box. I was so caught up with that damned formula. Thanks for pointing out my shortcomings for me guys. now i will impatiently wait for this post to find its way to the back of the forum and obscurity.

No chance of that, I think I will put it as a sticky ;)
