Title: Lost Mach3 Gecko 201
Post by: Ed on April 11, 2006, 02:18:54 AM

I just got a K2 25x14 mill it uses 201 gecko drives. The motors are 1.8 deg wired half step. I have to set the steps to 20,000 for the table to move properly. But at that high of a step the motors miss steps and I can't really adjust them to sound right. Where do I go from here.
Thanks

I found the problem I had to set step low active.
Thanks

Hello Ed,
Go to the Motor tuning page and set the accel and Vel. IF you click on the graph then press teh up and down arrows to jog the selected axis to test the motor. Please have a look at the video's (there is one on setting up your motors).
