Hi  all, long time no see.
All was working well when bang my controler gave up, I have bought a gecko 540 and have wire it up using all new wire and conectors. can anyone help I have power to motors and I can get DRO's to move in mach but I can't get the motors to run. It seems like no signal. This is my work so I need it up and running asp.
Many thanks

Mike

Could be many things, if you have not changed anything in Mach then it is most likely a wiring issue or possibly your port is damaged.
Check the voltages coming out of the Dir pins when you jog back and forth to see if they are working.

I suspect you may not have your port&pins set up correctly for the G540. You can download one that is pre configured from Gecko, you will still need to do the motor tuning.

Hi All,
Thankyou for your replys. It was thw 25 pin cable I bought a new male to male and it did not match up. I went to maplins and bought a conveter female to male and it works.
I now have a problem on the Z it will not run smooth and go's in any direction .

Sounds like your Z Dir connection, and possibly also the Step connection, is faulty/loose.

Thanks all. All done and I am well pleased with all the help and the new Gecko.
