So apparently you don't mind taking from the community but sharing a parts list is too much to ask for. If I ever see you asking for help I will be sure to first make sure you are willing to pay for...

Greetings,

I have to have two of my servos connected to my Gecko 320s with more than 6 feet of cable (I guess I will need around 12 feet).

Do you think it might work without differential...

I just got this message from Renco:



I don't completely understand what he is saying, but seems like he is saying that the use of the Index signal is required for it to work...

Or is he just...

Hmmm - it seems to only have A- & B-, no A & B. Well on the encoder it just refers to them as A & B - but on the specs page it calls them A & B low...

Can anyone help educate me on the difference...

Hi,

I should have checked before I bought this encoder, but will a A & B low (A- & B-) work with the Gecko 320? I ended up getting this encoder:

Renco Encoder

It has an Open Collector output...

Hi Mike,

I just saw this post! Sorry for the delay!

I am build a 5'x5'x2.5' milling machine. It has a usable area of 4'x4'x2'.

Here are some pics of it:

Thanks TOTALLYRC!

Yes, I am using Gecko 320's and a older PC. I am using a timing belt drive with a 4:1 ratio (4 servo turns per pulley revolution)...

Thanks again!

I think I just found the animal:

Do you know if I would get better accuracy with higher resolution? I think mine is 500, but...

Thanks TOTALLYRC!

I flipped over the encoder and there are some numbers on it:

It is 25mm OD and 6mm ID. It has a clip I am not sure how to get off though.

Greetings,

I made a huge bonehead mistake and bent my rotary encoder - destroying it. It is a really nice 800/oz servo I got from eBay. I have a picture of the encoder at:...

I read this entire thread with great interest. Sad to see that Warpspeed has not posted any further about his progress or lack of.

Warpspeed are you alive? Can you please let us know where your...

I bought a Keyspan Parallel port for my Mac, and I cannot successfully send any commands to my Gecko drivers.

Does anybody know how to add a parallel port to the Mac that will work with CNC/gecko...
