General Discussion / Smart Bob, Gekko Drive and power supply in same enclosure

« on: April 20, 2020, 10:43:23 AM »

Greetings all, I trust you are surviving the C-19 experience well. Does anyone know if it's a good/bad idea to have the Smart Bob and Gecko G540 in the same enclosure with the power supply? I'd love to have everything consolidated and neatly in a fan cooled enclosure but I'm afraid of any extranious signals coming from the power supply and giving the Smart Bob a hard time.

Thank you, David

General Discussion / Smart bob not seeing Z limit switch.

« on: April 01, 2020, 07:48:14 PM »

I touched the frame of my cnc router today and felt static. The machine is grounded but the spindle stopped in one position. I had to reboot a bunch of time to get it working but now that doesn't seem to help. I can home manually with jogging but when i try to "references all axis" (Mach 4) I get an error saying that Smart Bob can't tell if the z axis is on the home switch or if it hits the home switch. What should I do?

Thank you.
