Brother TC-225 / TC-229 adventure!

 
 
So, after some investigating, I've started to check connections, and what I found near the main contactor for 20BA150 ?
 

and a bit close
 

and after trying to pull - yeah, Bingo! image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/w00t.png
 

After tightening them both back, the spindle drive stops displaying "4" and I can move forward.
Thanks, everyone.

 
 

Them pesky wires always needing to be connected.

sorry if I intrude on the discussion, but I have seen talk of Sanyo and I could not resist. since I have recovered some Sanyo rs2a03a0al0w00 drives from an old electrical panel but I have no motors ... I have set them single-phase with their software and they turn on regularly. I would like to know if there are compatible motor or if its originals are needed.
Thanks in advance

Get the R Setup app on sanyos website (you need to make a login)

It will tell you which motors work with your drive. So, I know my RS1A**** drives are compatible with P, Q, and R motors up to 1kw with incremental pulse encoders. They do NOT work with the older 65BA motors on the brother TC229.

Sadly, it turns out that those motors usually cost more used on ebay than brand new delta B3 kits. I did end up buying a 500w and 400w P5 motor but i do not know if i'll ever have a use for them. I intend to get another brother machine (TC-218) and i will just put 400w/750w delta B3 kits on it.

Thank you for your quick answer. the app I have already downloaded and installed, I soldered rx and tx and gnd because I did not have the connector but it connects and you can set all the parameters. rs2a03a "0" al0w00 however this abbreviation (the zero highlighted) stands for serial-only encoder. since I have a 400w delta with serial encoder I was tempted to try it but surely they will have different protocols I think.
it was for playing ... for my little cnc i used 7i40 and dc motors with 5000 ppr closed loop encoder and i am fine.

if its seriel it has to be one of the r or q motors with serial encoders (usually an F in the motor designation if i remember)

sanyo drives can ONLY run with the specified sanyo motors and sanyo will refuse to help with any non standard config (including using brother specific sanyo motors)
