Yes its fixable  just needs a TLP127 OPTO and careful work with a SMT

And if you do it? How much?  I have the hot air tools, but the hands at
84 are getting a little shaky for that sort of work.  As I am learning
in doing this project.

Just send it back And I'll fix it


Thanks Peter.

feed 5 volts regulated to spindir+. wire internal to the interface
box Feed interface boxes +12 unswitched power over the cable to +12
volt Feed regulated 12 volts to spinena+,  Third wire
Feed spinena- to servo enable on pin 5.
Find pwmgen-01.pulse to PWM + on servo pin-1

Feed a signal from the Sainsmart's pwm-1-output to the pwm+ at
pin1 on the servo is the 5th wire and the connector is full. Once
thats done, take 3/8" off the bottom of the swarf shield over the
x-home-switch, which will allow that to come back over the top of
the y motor, giving me back a sorely needed additional inch or
more of y motion. The table was coming forward but this swarf
shield was too long and was hitting the motor mount.  If I clear
that, I gain nearly 1.5" of y motion. When I put that bellows
cover on, I was far more concerned with keeping swarf out of the y
screw when I built it 4 years ago.

Now, a question for Jon:

Normally that 12 volts to the logic on pin 6 will be present
anytime the interfaces line cord is plugged in, and which I intend
eventually to plug into the power strip that feeds the rest of the
motor power box. So it will come on with all the stepper drivers,
but spindle power is soft started by enabling the machine from F2,
takes 3 seconds to get full power.  And I don't trip a 30 amp
breaker charging the supplies caps.

But is it safe to apply the high voltage motor power to the
pwm-servo amp IF for some reason the interface is powerless and
its 12 volt supply is off. This will put full motor power at
pins-1-2, with no logic power on pin 6.

Is that safe, or will it let some smoke out and kill all the local
kittens? I could rig a relay, or better yet, move the SSR +
terminals to the 12 volt supply, better yet disable that in hal if
the 12 volts isn't there by changing the sserial com mode so it
will send an a/d output back to lcnc.  Thats slower of course but
I'll check it out.

Thanks Jon.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
