So,
I managed to pick the TCL 125 from a mate, who didnt have the time for it.
Its retro fitted (to an extent) with two gecko drrives for the X-Z axis, 24v DC Power supply, C1G parallel board from CNC4PC.
and the spindle drive doesnt work lol
here are some pics of the current setup.
Today i was just playing around with Mach3, to get the Z and X working ok.
Few problems tho:
The motors are getting really hot, as in like hot to touch? possibly too much voltage running through them?
Secondly, i couldnt get the movement of the z or x to be as precise as i would like, 1mm on Mach3 was like 0.05mm or something.
Thirdly, I really wanna get this spindle motor working but i think the gemini board is broken, so im looking for a (not exspensive) option for this
