Heh, thanks.
I *really* wasn't able to spend the money, but
after getting these motors, I was only left with two choices,
and the Geckos seemed really solid as well as having
a great reputation among you guys.
So, I bit the bullet and borrowed the money.

Yes, I've been reading these, thanks.
Between those and Jan, I'm hopeful I'll be able
to make of sense of it all soon. (:>)

Thanks, yes, I'm planning on making a steel enclosure with
everything mounted in it and wired internally.

All that's left is to find a power supply, make the box, and mount the
motors.

That, and find out why I don't get response within EMC from the rotary
encoders...

Thanks,
