Re: gecko wiring help

Gave that a try and still a no go. For my +5v I just bought a 9 pin
connector at radio shack and am just running one wire from it to the
gecko box, is this correct? Any other areas I should check or double
check in the hardware or software. I am trying to use either a demo
of Master5 or Turbocnc.

Thanks again,
Matt
