Tim, I purchased six of the closeout Geckos from you. I have three
of them wired up in the control box with 55 volts filtered DC sitting
there waiting to make the motors go. I'm down to connecting the
parallel connector and deciding on a motor connector that will handle
the current. Any advise on this would be very much appreciated. I
am using NEMA 23 SloSyn triple stack motors.

Those other drives do look nice but I am setup with the Geckos.

Thanks,

Chris
