these look like a very similar sort of thing? quite a saving on galil breakout boards etc

aha! read the instructions carefully is what i should do!  i didnt have a jumper on 1750 to select irq. !!!!!
had to set to irq11 as 10 had a conflict.
controller now registers straight away and mach3 stays connected

re fast motherboards with isa slots i bought this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400073656229&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
just have to find a fan for it now.
i had purchased 4 brand new 1750 galil controllers for $100 each so i thought it was worth getting! arrived from china in just over a week.

annoyingly last night i  reassembled my first ever pc with 3 isa slots, an amd450 which seems to run mach .  whoopie! and it turned up this morning!

the amd450 pc  with 1750 installed and smarterminal registers the card .
mach with the plugin connects to it but then shows communication failiure after a few seconds. im hoping this is because i havnt yet connected motors etc as i havnt got the 100 pin lead and connect board. anyone got any spare they want to sell?
i updated the galil firmware to 2.2n (although 2 of the cards i have have firmware 2.2Q which i presume is newer unless its a special for a oem?)

cant wait to get this going so i can start to convert a very outdated controller on my big biesse router.

galil 1750 with mach3
i require a further 90 approx i/o ( mixed inputs and outputs)
question. can i do this with mach
if so what hardware is recommended


was looking at camsoft but they seem to have a lot of bad press. have been using mach on small stuff so far.

motor is yamakazi mazak
encoder is sanyo denshi

no part numbers apart from motor 0930 252a
its a 1kw presume the 930 part of the number
25 i presume is encoder 2500 ppr
wondering if the a stands for absolute, as i cant find a z pulse

the u v w are long pulses, presume comutation with phases u v w

it has a a- b b- c c-
and u u- v v- w w-

no z and minus z?

incremental? absolute? or waste of time? lol

im using a yaskawa drive which is looking for a z + and z-
worked out the ppr = 2500

just got to work out if i can get a z pulse from it now

General Mach Discussion / encoder resolution checking

« on: February 03, 2009, 07:31:50 AM »

ive purchased a mazak servo motor but cant work out the encoder resolution accurately. (required for the drive im using)
is this possible to check by interfacing to mach3 encoder inputs? if so any settings or a how to would help. thanks
(i can configure pins etc and make wiring connections)
