Will Enable Work With a DMM DYN2 Servo Controller #214

Open frostheave1960 opened 2 years ago

frostheave1960 commented 2 years ago

Hi All,

As shown below, Enable (Pin 11) is Positive and has a Negative Common (Pin 7). The diagram for the ELS PCB shows a Positive Common. Will it be possible to use Enable with this drive?

Thanks for your help!

HI Frostheaven,

Yes - Check 'Direction and Enable' on this page https://github.com/clough42/electronic-leadscrew/wiki/Configuration-Settings

Thanks Pauly

Very good. Thanks Pauly.

And just to be sure, I won't be doing any damage to the hardware by physically reversing the polarity to the Enable lines, Correct?

Thanks again Bob

HI again Bob

No you will be fine. Even if you mess up somehow, I'd assume that 270 ohm resistor on the enable line is there to protect you :-). Having said that , if you are worried, check the polarity before you connect it!

Thanks Pauly
