Gecko driver fault when charge pump is on trial#
Gonna give those a trial as well.Ĭan someone answer this question? Is the Gecko supposed to be in power (green) mode with the computer not yet booted, i.e., if everything is wired correctly can I just turn on the power to the Gecko and expect to see the green LED? I have just found a couple of 25 pin cables in my storage bin. I can always stroll back to the office and post updates there.

I'll keep you posted IF I can get my wireless connection for the "new" shop PC setup tomorrow. Will be starting fresh again in the morning. I really hated doing this since I've got to now add in all the peripherals, etc. Just wiped the hard disk and starting fresh.
Gecko driver fault when charge pump is on software#
I've reconciled last evening to get out another PC and start the software installation process. Yes, even with the charge pump in the "Off" position. What's weird is that with the charge pump in the "Off" position and the cable reconnected to the PC and with a green light on the Gecko, when I boot up the computer the Gecko faults out during boot-up. When I release the button the Green light comes back on. When I do that AND with the switch still in Charge Pump "Off" position, I can press the E-Stop button and get it to fault. If you get those results then the G540 is sending an E-stop signal back to Mach3. You should get a red LED.ħ) Measure the voltage on DB15 to DB25 gnd. It should be 0VDC.Ħ) Disconnect DISABLE jumper. You should get a green LED.ĥ) Measure the voltage on DB15 to DB25 gnd. Here is a sure-fire test for the E-stop to Mach3 feedback.ġ) Remove all DB9 and DB25 cables from the G540.Ģ) Set the slide switch to IGNORE CHARGE PUMP.ģ) Jumper DISABLE term 10 to terminal 12.Ĥ) Connect power supply to terminals 11 and 12. Yes, I've jumpered the 10 & 12 together and removed the cable as per some instructions found here in post #9: I'm pretty certain it's not the E-Stop switch itself. PS Do I have to have the PC on and Mach3 up and running for the fault light to clear, i.e., can I just power the Gecko from the Power Supply and expect it to "not" have a fault? PM me and I'll give you a call if you've got some ideas and are willing to help. I've exhausted every means I can think of to get it to work other than another PC.Īny help or insight would be most appreciated. I'm off work too and really need to get this up and running if possible.

I really don't want to install everything on another PC just to get this up and running.

When I power up the PS, the red fault light on the Gecko stays on. Power to the Gecko, loop for E-Stop and the 25-pin cable. One wire coming from Pin #11 to the V+ on the PS. One wire coming from Pin #12 to the V- on the PS. One wire coming from the E-Stop button to V- on the PS. One wire coming from Pin #10 to one side of the E-Stop button. The E-Stop is a normally closed switch and breaks circuit when pressed. I've verified that the Charge Pump on in EStop is checked. I've manually switched the Charge Pump off at the front of the Gecko and the Power Light then goes Green. I've even connected an RS232 Check/Tester between the cable and the Parallel Port inlet on the Gecko and the only LED that's on is #11. I've tried changing things to Active Low, but then Mach3 complains and asks if I want to let it auto configure the Pins. I changed the BIOS to show EPP+ECP as well as "Bi-Directional" since one site says EPP+ECP is okay and another states a "Send&Receive" mode is okay. I've installed another parallel port (LPT2) and made changes to all the ports in the Config Ports & Pins to reflect Port #2.

I've downloaded and tried the 540BVFD.xml. I've checked the cable pin for pin and all 25 pins are a match. These are the things I've tried thus far: I have read everything I could get my hands on from the net for the past 3 days regarding Gecko and it's fault light clearing. I have a brand new Gecko G540 and Keling KL-350-48 Power Supply with Mach3 (Latest version)
