Hello,
I need some hand-holding as I try to put together a "World of Word" indexing controller, I'm not bright enough to figure this stuff out for myself.
I have purchased the controller from "World of Ward" have an old Haas 5C indexer, gear ratio 72 to 1 with a stepper motor, 6 leads, 200 steps per rev, 2.5VDC, 4.6 amp, a power supply, 24VDC 1.2 amps, and a Gecko drive, GR214V.
Some of my questions are, the motor says 2.5VDC-4.6amp and the power supply I have says 24VDC-4.6amp, do I need a different power supply is 24VDC to much too little.
I emailed gecko and they say to hook up my stepper motor in series, does this mean I hook the 2 center leads together and the 2 outside leads go the Gecko Drive also on the Gecko drive it has 2 terminals for winding A and 2 for winding B, does it matter which end of the winding goes to 1A or 2A same for terminal B.
Do I need a heatsink or fan for the box I put all the electronics in, I'm sure all have many more questions?
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Bruce
