    Default Z Axis Driver Problems | Gecko G202 Solution Needed

    Hello I just started looking for a G202 Driver.

    My Z stopped moving. Noticed the software was sending a command, the Z was moving on screen. Checked Z driver and light wasn't on. Switched Z and B Driver, Z worked perfect. B "Bad Driver". The led remained off on the Bad G202 Driver.

    Anyone have a Gecko G202? Suggestion?

    Should I change out the electrolytic capacitor or some other component? Has anyone had success servicing these units?

    Extreme delta t is a factor in this situation. I had cold (-20 F; 0 F) ambient operating temps this last season.

    Should I somehow use a G203 and build an digital invert circuit?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I see you have an indexer why not use that one while your one the z is on is repaired

    The G202 is still available from Geckodrive.com for $144 each plus shipping. Click on Products and then on Legacy Products.
