I currently have 2 G212 controllers in use in one machine and have a third spare.

I am going to start building a new CNC machine. Should I order the G212 or is there a direct replacement as I...

This was a shock as I was looking at as a supplier.

Received the following email today:


General/Gorilla CNC update

As some of you may have already been aware of, Gorilla CNC closed it's...

Ran the machine again for a few more hours.

No problems. Looks like it fixed the problem.

Oh, feels so good. :wee: :wee:

Okay. A followup.

I went through the machine and everything looked good.

I then contacted Gecko drive and spoke to 2 people in tech support ( forgot their names).

We went through all the...

I have been busy with a new line of model rocket launch controllers so things have been on the backburner.

Now that it is out of the way, time to fix this machine.

I assembled the new power...

will look into it.



It never was mechanical. If I let the system cool down, it would work again. I made sure everything was lubricated where needed. It also failed generally at the same...

I looked at those power supplies but they were the regulated ones, so I passed. The unregulated were about the same as what I could build.



I looked into changing the wiring on the...

I ended up talking to Wes on the phone for a bit and he is having the same problem I am. It was comforting in a way to know I am not the only person in the world having this problem.

He will be...

The 20000uF was in stock while others were a long wait delay.

Still nothing from Keling (not waiting any longer) and I called Transformer Technology after they didn't call back.

I was to get a quote today, but never did. Will see.

I looked into modifying...

Transformer Technology has yet to call back. Keling didn't respond to an email request.

Looks like the power supply supply is the problem. On Monday I will look into just building one and see if...

I was mentioning it as to the jumper setting was for common ground.

My mistake. Yes 6A on bipolar parallel.

G212. Common ground.

I never tried to switch the motors. Seemed too much work for no reason. ( I did change the drives as stated.)

300K ohms on each driver. Checked the bands and with a meter.



4.2 A /phase. ...

Had a 400 and 1160 oz motor. Having the problem with the 1160oz motor. Replaced that one with another 400 motor. Worked great at first, then the same problem.

The other axis has never been a...

The specs for the motors were given to the power supply company and they made the recommendation.

IIRC, no mention of inductance was made at the time.

The motors are not fried.

They are mounted on an aluminum plate and have not gotten hot up to this point.



Amazing. I ordered the power supply based on the recommendations of the company.

Sent an email to Keling and...

This problem I have has been going on for some time and I am at the point of throwing everything out and starting fresh with products (industrial, generally not for sale here). Everyone seems to say...

I was using TurboCNC on a lathe and was having problems with the interface. I connected direct via the parallel cable.

As advised by Gecko drive, I installed a Breakout board from Campbell...

I am converting a 9x19 lathe ( Busy Bee brand ) to CNC and this will be done next week.

I am getting information together but would appreciate any help (experience) so as to get a better result...

I take it you have the patent.

Welcome to the real world. In many case setup will cost more than the actual production run. You need to factor the price of the tooling in setting the price. If...

I am late to this thread, so sorry for being tardy and if I step on toes.

The above arguement make make sense, but it is not reality. Especially when dealing with China. ( I am in Canada, BTW )...
