SmoothStepper USB / SS MPG output current?

« on: July 11, 2008, 02:11:53 PM »

Hi Guys,

I was about to hook up my MPG to the SS,  I measured the current of the MPG it was a little over 50ma,  I got worried and wondered what the output current for the SS MPG 5Volt supply is?  In the SS manual, I saw a 32ma limit for the sourcing and sinking of input and output pins, but I am unclear on the board supplied current for the MPG.  Thanks for the help,
Does anyone know what it is rated for?

General Mach Discussion / Galil Spindle delay problem?

« on: October 18, 2007, 01:40:29 PM »

Hi Brian/Art, 

When I toggle my spindle cw or ccw, if I have any dwell (been using 1 sec.) the toggle locks up, I can turn it off ounce but can not turn it back on.  MDI of M3, M4 works the same. The dwell light comes on and stays on.  If I have no dwell set, then the spindle toggles normally on and off as much as I like.  Can you please look into this and tell me if I have a setting wrong of if the Galil plugin or Mach has a bug?  Thanks,
Jim C.
