3DTek.xyz Masso to Gecko Parallel board.
Designed to simplify Connecting a Masso CNC Controller to the popular Gecko G540, where otherwise a mess of wires might be required.
- Step Duplication Pins: To duplicate all step pulses for any axis, over to the A axis (4th driver of gecko), shunt one of the jumper sets in this group. For example to duplicate all Y steps over to the A Axis for a tandem Y motor machine put a jumper on the Y pins as circled in red on the image above
- Direction Duplication Pins: To duplicate all direction signals for any axis, over to the A axis (4th driver of gecko), shunt one of the jumper sets in this group. For example to duplicate all Y directions over to the A Axis for a tandem Y motor machine put a jumper on the Y pins as circled in red on the image above
- Spare Grounds: As suggested some spare access to common ground for external equipment
- A Axis: Due to space requirements the A axis slot on the Masso needed to be covered by the Adaptor, and so it has been brought out on top.
- B Axis: Due to space requirements the B axis slot on the Masso needed to be covered by the Adaptor, and so it has been brought out on top.
- Extra Gecko IO: VFD, Fault, Charge Pump, Output 1 & 2, Input 1 to 4 from the gecko are exposed here in case you need access to them.
- Female DB25 Parallel Port with gecko pinout: connect a straight through parallel port cable from here to the gecko.
