Re: Gorilla Machines
I've had the gorilla machines table for 3 years, and out of now where the table stopped working. In the diag screen, it shows all of the limits being triggered and the ports show no green boxes. I've already replaced the gecko 540 and the uc100. Can anyone please give me some advice... beside burning this thing to the ground.

Re: Gorilla Machines
A friend of mine sent me a screen shot from facebook this morning(I dont have facebook) about someone with this exact problem on a Gorilla table and the problem was the kernel speed being set wrong. Whoever posted said the Kernel speed needed to be 35K hz. But, my gorilla table is set at 45K Hz and its working. Was that you?

Re: Gorilla Machines
There are tiny elves that sneak around at night and fix things but beware because there are bad elves that will break things . Sometimes leaving it set will alert the good elves and its working again. Once the bad elves let the blue smoke out of the electronics the good elves can't make it work

Re: Gorilla Machines
Somebody told me that when they make each one of those electronic parts they put a little bit of smoke inside to make them function. Once the smoke gets out they don't work anymore, and it's impossible to put it back inside.

Re: Gorilla Machines
Anybody out there have the correct parameter for these damn machines. I tried the one in here and still can get the other y motor to move at all. It worked great and ai deleted the computer I had it on because I was selling it. Went to reload everything now it can’t find the driver. Any help is appreciated. It was working great until I did that.
