Re: gecko wiring help

Woohoo got the thing working. I tried Tims idea of running my 5v off
one of my drive power supply cables (not the 12v) and vrrooomm the
motor was working. Very big relief. Just gotta mount them on the
mill and and pick out a cad/cam program, I've been leaning towards
vector based on the great comments about the program and the demo
seems too "agree" with me. Thanks for all the help. More questions
to follow I am sure though!
