Hi,
Can you tell me what to check on the gecko driver in this picture, I mean I want you to tell me where put the one end of the multimeter, Put it  here on (blank) and the other end on (blank) and you should get this voltage.  ;D
Thanks,
Greg

Put your Negative lead on the gecko Power Ground pin and your positive on the 24-80 VDC pin. I watched the video, sounds like you are trying to run it too fast to me.
;D If you could see the things I have in my head, you would be laughing too. ;D

Hi,
The voltage for the stepper drivers while running is 35.2v. its the same while idle.

If I am running it to fast why does the K2 website say I can run it at 150 ipm? ???

This is a very weird problem because it will run just fine for one program and not for an other, what should I set my velocity and acceleration at?  I have dropped it very low before and it still kept messing up?

Thanks, :P

Hi,
I talked to Chaoticone and he gave me some great advice, we talked quite a bit about many possible problems and I think we have a good handle on what the problem is.  We will have to see, I have to run some more programs to see if it has stops freezing up and missing steps.


Thanks for the help ;D
