RotoCAMM TS-400E

When it's working properly it gives out 36V adjustable with pot. When it decides to pack in it swings between 2 and 9v - pretty flaky/unreliable

Could be a dry joint, might be worth going over every joint on the board with a soldering iron.

For the sake of £36 - I'm giving up looking now. Wish I had just bought a new power supply a month ago

All a learning experience I suppose...

A fair comment. Well if you're throwing it away, please throw it my way!

I'll keep you in mind

It's ALIVE

Just had a quick play with it and so far so good. HAPPY (if a bit rainy) DAYS!!

Hi Paul,
Excellent, well done! Hopefully it should be fine now.

Well - the day has finally come… I think the machine is dead

It mostly works fine but when I try and write a new parameter in VPanel - a new home or Z position for instance - Vpanel just freezes up. Not the computer as tried old laptop too. Will dig out a new USB lead tomorrow but I'm not hopeful.

I can move it around and the hand control still works.

Any ideas?

Just when it's been running great too. On top of all that - I'm on the final cut of a two week project!!

Time for a VERY large dram...

It lives again! Literally gave it blood offering and managed to get the fianl piece finished. Worth a very nippy thumb

Really weird. It could do everything - including outputting a toolpath - but would freeze when trying to set a new home position.

Time will tell if this is a one off anomaly...

Hi, I have the minimum knowledge of cnc machines except for some basic work on the camm 2,
I have acquired a ts-400, I have got it set up, but vpannel is saying emergency stop on? The emergency stop on the machine seems loose but working! Do you think it could be this?
