![]() ![]() It does about as much as four of these, except much more robustly, with more current capability, and with more advanced waveforms. It doesn't do anything about limit switches or homing or anything, except maybe pass the signals on through the parallel port to the PC. If I read right I could only use 4 limit switches but I need 6 and I don't know if it allows homing.Ĭvoinescu wrote:The G540 isn't a controller, it's just a motor driver. I love my little TinyG but it's not compatible with Mach 3.Īdded: I will say this about the Gecko G540. I really want to upgrade to Mach 3 because tgFX and chilipeppr have limitations and reliability issues and just can't meet my demands. I am unable to comment on the TB6600 or Gecko G540 from any personal experience, I'm afraid. I know you have had difficulties with your other controller choices, but would suggest you try it out unless you absolutely have to have features in Mach3 (or even Mach4 now!). If you have any competence with a soldering iron, adding most elements to it are very straightforward too. The Arduino, Gshield, Universal Gcode Sender combination is really pretty good and is very inexpensive.
