Hello…I’m looking for advice on how to connect a rotary axis to the Masso g3 Touch. I am currently designing my table for an Elite Foreman and want to incorporate a rotary axis option into my table design….thanks, Norm
Specifically:
Do I need a separate or dedicated driver or is it built into the G3?
Schematics?
Photos?
Any advice at all….
Hey Norm,
there are a number of posts that describe what you want to know. We have a search function in this forum, you can easily find the posts that deal with rotary on Masso.
If you buy a rotary module with a bipolar stepper without integrated stepper driver, you will have to also buy a stepper driver in order to be able to run it on the MASSO controller.
Thanks …I have been searching but will experiment with different key words. I found one guys YouTube video and he used a dedicated driver that he wired in…a little perplexed because I thought the G3 Touch had an “A” axis driver built in….but, perhaps I’m just confusing items…
Most controllers like those from Masso - G3 and Touch - produce the axes signals needed (STEP/DIR) , but require you to provide the driver of choice and power source needed to control the stepper motor or servo’s motion.
