Hi guys. i am Pavlos from Greece and this is my first attempt on build an openbuild woodworking cnc.
I did bought a g540 last summer and some 23nema steppers. on my 3d printer i have my z steppers wired in series thing i had the intention on doing on the g540 until i saw that this is a no go ( or at least that's what i got) for g540, to wire to motors on the same drive.
But after that reading on the sticky here i read that it is ok to wire them in parallel or even better to wire them in series . So what is this i can't understand. Can i or it is a no go?
Now from my experience in 3d printing with the duets i am running, i can give the motors a variety of voltage or/and amperage. I was thinking that this was the case on the g540. Am i wrong ? I am thinking that the steppers i bought are probably too big so i was wondering if they would work with my 24v 400watt psu . Do i have to change my psu or my steppers or ( worst case scenario) the g540 ? is it possible to run them slower and/or at lower torgue to suit my psu ?
this is the one stepper
- Motor Type: Unipolar/Bipolar
- Step Angle: 1.8 deg
- Holding Torque(Bipolar): 2.83Nm(400oz.in)
- Holding Torque(Unipolar): 2.0Nm(283oz.in)
- Rated Current(Bipolar Serial): 2.83A
- Rated Current(Bipolar Parallel): 5.66A
- Rated Current(Unipolar): 4.0A
- Phase Resistance(Bipolar Serial): 1.6ohms
- Phase Resistance(Bipolar Parallel): 0.4ohms
- Phase Resistance(Unipolar): 0.8ohms
- Inductance(Bipolar Serial): 7.2mH ± 20%(1KHz)
- Inductance(Bipolar Parallel): 1.8mH ± 20%(1KHz)
- Inductance(Unipolar): 1.8mH ± 20%(1KHz)
and this the one i would like to wire in series for my Y axis
- Manufacturer Part Number: 23HS30-2804S
- Motor Type: Bipolar Stepper
- Step Angle: 1.8 deg
- Holding Torque: 1.9Nm(269oz.in)
- Rated Current/phase: 2.8A
- Voltage: 3.2V
- Phase Resistance: 1.13ohms
- Inductance: 5.4mH ± 20%(1KHz)
- reading all the above can you recommend me what resistance should i use on the 5-9 pin on my gecko ? or i can skip it .
thanks in advance guys.
