Just read the latest version of the user manual and nowhere does it link the gain dips to the "p" adjustment

OK, so if you find your "p" pot is out of range you would alter the dips to get it back in?

hi,
 could some one please explain the gain settings on the g320x ?
theres alot of them !
does it alter the atrest cain? i thougt pid settings did that?
does it alter amps to motor,I thought the torq limit did that?
any Ideas as gecko seem reluctant to explain.

its ok I have an 18v toroid to make a 24 vold supply just a bit tight for space,can you "stack" toroids phisically not electrically,because i know they can do weird stuff!
Any thoughts on FAT32 vs NTFS ?

OK, so ,whats the best way of knocking down my 36v to 24V and still deliver 2 x 6amps @24v ? would a couple of 317 voltage regulators (3amps each) wired in parallel per motor do it?

well my thinking is that rpm and volta\ge are linked and ive checked this ie at 2800 rpm on a gecko the motor is drawing 24 volt

Hi and Merry Christmas/happy new year!
firstly I'm doing a bf20 conversion using gecko 320x drives. my x an y are 24 volt and my z is 36 volt.
I have a 36v powersupply and I'm thinking as long as i don't try and run the 24volt servos past there rated rpm at 24 volt I should be OK powering them from the 36 volt power supply?
  Also fat32 or ntfs whats the best for mach? I know audio recording software works better with fat32 because it writes in realtime rather than blocks ala NTFS,would this be an advantage ?
Finally (for now) how have you guys got around the limeted space on the y axis when fitting ballscrews?
   regards
