I am currently wiring up my controller box with 3 G320's that i purchased from industrial hobbies with the heat sink combo.
I was reading through the G320 installation notes and am confused. On the drawing of the gecko drive layout on pg. 6 (http://www.geckodrive.com/ycom/docum...EV4_MANUAL.pdf)
term 12 is labelled as +5 VDC and is referred to as such throughout the document. However on my G320 drives, term 12 is labelled COMMON. this seems really odd to me. What am i missing?
BTW i'm using an external 5 v power supply for my encoders and i notice that mariss says that a 470 ohm resistor should be placed from term6 to term7 with an external power supply. I have never seen this before on Jeff's wiring diagrams and what not.How important is it to have?
Thanks in advance.
