In our previous article about the Keling step motors and Gecko drives showing up on our doorstep, we mentioned that the MeanWell 48VDC 5A power supply would be ideal to drive the motors in any of the modes available: series/parallel/unipolar.
Just as the “Add to Cart” button was pressed in Jameco’s website, we checked around and were able to find one used for next to nothing – nice!
What’s next in the path to CNC’ing the 8×12 mini-lathe? A breakout board…
Since there is some concern about the carriage being pushed into a spinning chuck (this isn’t the 7x mini-lathe anymore…), it’s probably a good idea to add a limit switch to avoid this problem. And to do things properly, we’ll need not “just” a DB25 breakout board, we’ll need the “guts” to it as well such as opto-isolation, etc…
Stay tuned as we source one!’
