Wanye,
got the Skyko's and I cant tune them in maybe the fact that the encoders are on the end of the ballscrew and not the motor
every time I press the jog key in Mach3 the Skyko faults out

I am now thinking about the Viper drives verses the Geko. any thoughts on this

Thanks Wayne,
my son measured 95 volts dc going into the drive so we will have to work out a way to reduce to 80 volts
I emailed Gecko with the info from the motors and I had a look at the Skyko which seems like a good idea also
I will have a look at Rutex also.its gonna have to be make my mind up shortly.
thanks
Brian

Wayne ,
I emailed Norwin and got a quick reply here it is:-

The drive requires an analogue (+/-10V) speed command. How are you going to
generate this from the parallel printer port?

"speed command" does this help ?
