Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Gecko drives

George,

Any one of us can help you with the power supply for the Gecko drives.
First you will need to know what stepper motors you are going to be using.
You will need to know the voltage on the nameplate. Then we can help you
with the power supply.

Home and limit switches are not connected to the drives. They are inputs to
the control program like cncpro.
