Hi It is a home built and was working great until my Geko 540 gave up. Do I use all six wires fro the motor and Bipolar series??

To back up post #29.
If the motor is a 6 wire the TB6600 won't support unipolar wiring.
In this case wire it as if it were a 4 wire stepper.

Ah!!!!.
I see 8 wires.
Best balance for both speed/torque is parallel. Also lowers your inductance. Twist pairs together and connect as folliws:

A+ RED & BLU
A- YEL & BLK
B+. WHT & BRN
B- ORG & GRN

Then 10-45v power supply in the other 2 terminals (marked 32v & GND I think).
Try that.


I see your motors are 3.2mh inductance in parallel (it's lowest level avail). Not great for trying to get fast rapids on only 36v or less. Fine for general cutting speeds.
