    G320 Setup Electrocraft 60V Servos

    Hi, I am setting up my G320 Drive for an Electrocraft 60v Servo. I have been going through the testing procedure in the installation notes with no problems until I came to the point where you connect power to the servo. As soon as power is connected the servo will jump then wait about 3 seconds and then take off at I think its max speed. When any command is given the motor starts oscillating randomly and the drive faults. I am quite sure the encoder is good because when the motor is not connected, the drives faults every three seconds when a pulse source is given as stated. The gain and damping trimpots do seem to have random effects on this but I can't seem to find any position where the motor actually stays still. Anyone know what is wrong?

    Have you checked out the forums on gecko drives? The one entitled "Gecko 320's startup for the newbie?" has some set-up tips.
    Marris will surely help you out if you email him.

    good luck
