keling - affordable units (be sure to pick the correct step and current value for your motors)
uirobot - used on a few MechMates already automation direct gecko G540 drive - The most affordable solution with the right choices. Also, you don't need the G203 series drives, others in the gecko family will work. Last edited by smreish; Tue 15 November 2011 at 19:15.. |

I have used Leadshine models drives for the last build, and they work like a charm. Probably not the worlds best, but they do the job, and are affordable.

Anyone tried them out? The drive looks pretty slick. Browsing through the site, I came across a very nice looking BOB too. This could be a pretty good option for builders in this region. http://www.tinycontrols.com/parallel...out-board.html |

Nice. What are the caps for?

Those caps are needed because he used long and thin wires to connect power to drives

Ahhh.... Channel isolation & better PS Zo
A thick 12g loudspeaker cable should save the trouble nicely ? |

Anil, would you kindly elaborate the protections you put into your drivers?

Thanks Ken for your keen interest, basically drivers are protected for current at the outputs making them protected from over-current, miss wiring and short circuits at the output.
So you can only destroy them by connecting the power in reverse (even then the fuse blows) otherwise they are safe to common miss use or miss wiring. |
