Chip and I had a good conversation this morning on the phone what i have decided is to gut the machine and start fresh going for the Geckos 302 and then i need an interface card to plug in the PC and run Mach i am going to look at the ones Hood you recommended thanks a Bunch you guy's it's great to have a place to go and get this kind of experience you just can't buy this.

This morning i took off the back's of the servo motor's and powered them directly and they all worked so at least i know they work don't know about the counter's though next i have been trying to get the drives up but i keep getting a voltage led coming on so something is going on there may just have to buy new drives for the system as well hope not so far other then the tech support at Lagun no one has been very helpfull Lagun dose not support the dyan path stuff only the machine.

I have the schematics for the complete electrical system, the system dose come on then poops out i have been down this road before trying to repair the exisisting system only to find out down the road it's old technology and then have to gut it out.
Well it's good to hear that i can salvage some part of the system so the pixes take the place of the existing brain and control head is there a interperter board avaliable for the pixes so all i have to do is wire the pixes and plug the computor to it such as the CNC4PC boards.

 I was hoping i would not have to change out the drive that the way it goes, why the pixes are they better then the gecko's, can you explain the difference between a step and direction drive and analogue drive i thought there was way to many connections on tese drives to work with Mach.
