I may sound stupid but I just need to make sense of this. Still not getting what I want. Does the gecko need 0-10v initially coming in then mach converts this according to my signal or does the gecko have a 0-10v freq and i just control it according to my settings 100rpm 1000rpm etc and voltage goes from there into my spindle board.
The x4 spindle board consists of Terminals marked +12, +5, AVI, RUN/STOP, F/R, PWM, GND.
When I jump PWM to GND. on the x4 I get a small burst of movement, which i'm assuming it needs to see pulses and not just a constant high or low signal.
Basically tried most settings in this spindle guide that you showed me and I'm still not getting any voltage from gecko. Is there anything through the smooth stepper that could be helpful.
Not giving up yet with the gecko but I dont think thats the problem. There are no connections from the gecko to the x4 yet because no voltage output 0-10 from the gecko g540 means no movement. I feel no reason to try it until correct output voltage is achieved. I have A c10 bb laying around somewhere have to dig it up and possibly do some changes with my output 1& 2 on the gecko and see if this makes any difference. And maybe changing pins again to see if that works and eliminate existing outputs for coolant control from gecko to c10.
