He doesn’t have a need for Limit switches and does not use them. ![]() The one difference Peter has his setup to run a CNC router. I also liked Peter’s use of his Gecko g540 and a UC300ETH-5LPT. I now have a lot more real estate to work with inside the enclosure. I shamelessly stole his great ideas and incorporated them into my revamp. His setup using a computer enclosure is fantastic. I had seen a cool YouTube video by Peter Passuello (CNCnutz). I started with a new, empty tower case enclosure with several fans and lots of space for the power supplies, circuit boards, +-terminal posts, relays, power cords, etc. I’ll be running it off a Windows 10 Dell laptop with an ethernet connection. I canabalized the the power supply, Gecko board, cables & stuff from my old setup. I see vision of a touch & go - ohmic sensor on it soon. Being limited to 12 pins on the Gecko g540, I’ve run out of options to expand more. Over time I’ve added Limit Switches, Floating Head and a couple different THC’s. The old setup was a Gecko g540 connected to a desktop computer running Windows XP and Mach3. I’m revamping my 4X4 plasma table with new electronics & software. ![]()
