Re: 470uf cap for geckos /another question

Hi RC, Thanks for the reply, yes I do have fuses in the positive
leads, so I'll add the 470uf caps. On another question, I am using an
ah-ha cnc-pro system and one of the pins on the break-out board is
labeled "gnd for step/dir." does this mean the power supply ground?
thanks again; John---
