Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Gecko 201 drive

Hi Ron:

A Pot will work , but be warned, pots have a way of going bad and if it
goes open in this application, the controller will let out its magic smoke.
I would advise putting whatever resitance is used for 7 amps in parallel
with the pot so you never get an "open" condition. You just have to use a
large enough resitance in the pot so the combined resistance varies from 0
ohms (low current) to a max of the 7 amp resistance.

Just a thought,
