There's a "min. velocity" setting? Where?

and a max of 600. Use something like 50 for

Changed those to the reccomendations above, still nothing...

How about an analog voltmeter?
I do have an analog meter; the direction pins are changeing approriately,
but I can't get a reading off the step pins. I don't know if that is because
it is not issuing steps, or if the meter simply can't read them?
I'm using Gecko drives; should I set the pins to be "active high" or "active
low"? I've tried both variations without luck.

Thanks,
Rick
