Hi All~!
Trying to finish up my conversion tonight or
tomorrow, but need some things clarified before I can.
First - Geckos and voltage.
My power supply is putting out 82.6 VDC.
And I've wired the Geckos in the "star" configuration recommended.
My concern is over the 80 VDC limit for the Geckos.
(G210s marked with "90IFX" on the covers.)
Second, I'm confused about the capacitors one
might or might not use on the Geckos themselves.
My power supply is pretty close to the
Geckos, but the motor cables run 10 feet long.
Do I need capacitors? Which size?
Third - the +5V.
Assuming that I want to work with what I have right now and not need to
spend more money, do I get that +5V from the computer power supply
or does it come from somewhere in the parallel port?
And Fourth, I'm planning on using a UPS for the controller, and wanted
to know people's thoughts on using it for the motor's power supply as well.
Thanks,
Weyland
