Hi All,

I have got a GEC Gemini DC spindle drive unit, I want to know if anybody has a wiring diagram for one of these units.

I have tried the web without any luck.

Thanks

Works in progress / Re: New 4 Axis Milling Screen Set (RaspScreen)

Thanks, praise indeed from a master.

Its not a copy of anything that I know of,  its more a case of how I think controls should be. Easy and un-cluttered.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: OEM Trigger

« on: January 08, 2007, 04:50:14 PM »

I think the triggers start at number 29

So you maybe have to look at 35 and 36 to get the ones you want.

If you just want the program to keep running do this

%
N1 (first line of gcode)
G20 G00 etc.
...

.(more lines of code)

M1

This will loop until you press optional stop.

General Mach Discussion / Re: MANURHIN LATHE AUTOMATICE

« on: January 07, 2007, 05:59:20 PM »

I bought a new Manurhin a few years ago, it was the biggest pile of crap I ever had the misfortune to own, I cost me a mint in lost orders, I ended up sending it back to France as they never got it to run for more than 2 hours a day.  The final straw was when the motor mounting broke in two and the spindle motor crashed through the side of the machine. It took me 2 years to get my money back.

In the stepmaster docs it will tell you the pins that drive each motor step and direction and also which pin if any enables the motors these have to be set up in ports and pins in mach.

see if you have this detail and let us know.
