The manual seems to imply that the outputs are for running a spindle, but seeing as I'm using a hitachi router for now, I could get away with using the +10vdc for the switches if that will work. And...

The manual seems to imply that the outputs are for running a spindle, but seeing as I'm using a hitachi router for now, I could get away with using the +10vdc for the switches if that will work. And...
Well I spoke to George, and he said to use the +10v output on the mx3660 to power the switches. So I guess that means to use +10v for the positive wire, the grd for the negative and the input for the...
Thanks John, that document is a huge help. The mx4660 has a 12v out on it, but the 3660 does not. From the doc: "Each switch has a blue, black, and brown, but only 1 input per "input" on the mx3660...
Awesome, thanks guys. I really appreciate the help. I'm scouring the house now looking for a 12v adapter I can dig up.
Thanks for that John, that is a really helpful document.I can verify that all the settings in there for the motor tuning and the dip switches are what I am using too and seem to be working for me....
Thanks Shane, that attached document in the thread there is a really handy resource. My only remaining question is what kind of power supply to use for the switches. Can I get away with just wiring...
Thanks Shane, I appreciate the help! My mx3660 doesn't seem to have a 12v out though. I saw that the mx4660 has that, but all the mx3660 has is 3 sets of input/ground combos and a +10v, a 0-10v, and...
figured out how the switches are mounted, but am still wondering about the power supply. Can I just chop the ends off of a 12v wall wart and wire them all to that? Then wire the remaining wire to the...
Anyone ever get an answer on this? I could use this info as well.
Hi,
How have you guys that use proximity switches with the mx3660 wire them up? Do you need a separate power supply or can they be run off of the mx3660 somehow? The wiring diagram in the mx3660...
Thanks Sparky, can't believe I missed it. I had gone back through the main forum looking for something like that. It doesn't answer all my questions and some of the image links have died, but it's...
Are there any expert cnczoners and/or existing xzero users reading this that I could PM with a couple of questions regarding the assembly of the Raptor 30? I would really appreciate it.
well, started building it anyway, most of it is pretty self explanatory I guess. I hit a snag while assembling the long axis ballscrew and it's housing. the end of the ballscrew is 0.4" in diameter...
I've had a zenbot for a few years now and they are pretty good but can give some spotty results sometimes. I just bought an xzero machine for the reasons mentioned above. It seems great but I haven't...
Anyone out there that has any of the files for set up that came with the machine and can send them my way? I'd really appreciate it. Just want to get going on it. Thanks
Hi,
I just bought a raptor 30x36 and apparently George has had some sort of health issue that prevents him from responding to email and phone calls. He has my best wishes for a speedy recovery...
I had a similar experience, although I was fortunate enough to receive my machine. After it arrived all communications with George ceased. Up until then, he was very responsive. I'm sorry to hear...
