Mark: As my application had TWO axes (X & Y), there were TWO G210's very
near each other, so I put a two-terminal solder-lug thing kinda nearly
between, and soldered a 1000 uF/50 V. cap. to those, and then connected that
to both 210's (+) and (-) terminals with #20 wire, tinned-ends!. And, of
course, to the 24 VDC (unreg.!) supply.

If you had only ONE 210, and no place for the solder-terminals, you might
neatly solder the insulated power-supply lines to the cap's leads, slip
shrink-tubing over "all that", leaving about 0.2" nekkid, and connect those
exposed ends to the Gecko's terminals #1 and #2.

This detail is a GOOD example of how "being NEAT" is important to function!
Sloppy loose connections, and/or lotsa extra wire slack flopping about will
NOT do good things!
