Nope. Although I haven't smelled any smoke from the walls yet. And it's not completely dead - I did manage to blow it out of the blue a couple...
Someone who's actually experienced with the TB6600s should definitely be able to give you a more definite answer, but my rule of thumb - when I...
Loose connections on the steppers are a killer. Not only are they easy to overlook - resulting in weird intermittent problems when something moves...
Well, the one on my CNC is hanging overhead where it's a little hard to see (like any self-respecting bat), but here's the "Oh...
Exactly - so I have to assume the 1.1kW drives were intended for 20A circuits. Or were by companies who only wanted to be a little less misleading...
Not to reply to myself, but... ...I just reminded myself of something I've been meaning to ask for a while, Peter: If you look at CONTROL's...
Noooo! Frequent updates are gooood! ...just as long as we can tell them to piss off and go wait in the hall because we're busy and/or convinced...
Vaguely related (although probably on the opposite side of the safety issue), I noticed that the prohibition on movement or GCode input while...
Seriously... I had no idea until (quite literally) I was halfway through that reply. On a long enough timeline, everything's temporary. And I...
If you think that's good, I could make you fall in love with your CNC rig all over again by showing you the one I started out with. -Bats (the...
Ferrites are definitely on the shopping list (I'm also shopping for a metal enclosure for the VFD itself this time around), since it looks like...
Sounds like something to keep in mind when I'm trying to re-purpose an existing VFD, but not something to plan for when shopping for a new one....

One other question, Rob (since you've got the details fresh in your mind & probably have a better grasp of the tech than I do in the first place):...
Unfortunately ferrites won't help a VFD turn on once you let all the smoke out... :( I'd considered picking up (or scrounging from the junk pile)...
Oh, naturally. Listening in on a detuned radio, even the BlackBox makes a racket, to say nothing of the motors. But there's "making noise" and...
Honestly, I'm still a little undecided on that bit. I think I was kinda hoping someone would tell me authoritatively "Oh, those are just noisy...
After a series of frustrations, the 110V Huanyang VFD (HY01D511B) driving my 1.5kW spindle finally let the smoke out (under at least partially...
Looks fantastic - reminds me a bit of Iron Maiden's "Eddie". I almost like the unfinished version more - it has a great...
Soooo...... Good news and bad news. The bad news is the magic blue smoke has escaped from the VFD. The good news is I get to start shopping for...
