I later became aware of this fact, after I made the repairs to my ER4PC.
The Robot I purchased had no connector on the main cable. The End was cut off, and seemed whoever owned it was trying to interface it to something.
I ended up connecting 6 DB9 connectors for individual hookups to the Driver cards. I then read that the original 50 Pin connector will work fine. I guess I could have looked for a 50 pin connector.
I'm also looking into trying some other Robot models. Thinking of purchasing the Mitsubishi RV-M2 movemaster robot as well for some time now. Although I'm also checking into the popular CRS F3 model. They use Absolute encoders which will be great to play with. I have also acquired the software for the F3 so that's a start. I find allot of the time, these robots are sold with no software. And when they are, they are over 10 Grand $$.....ouch!!
Thanks for the tip by the way.
Have any of you used the ER-VII ? A friend of mine has just purchased one this Christmas. It was from a school closing. We're having some issues with the Encoder values for the gripper to execute some block size measurements. Maybe the encoder is malfunctioning. Lots of Fun!
Later folks,
