Re: Enco XY Table

The FET-3 works fine, its just very slow. At least that was my
experience with the board. I would not even consider running them at
5V. Get the resistors and run them at least at 12V. I wanted
something faster which Tim's API260's Drivers or the Gecko's will do
the trick. Both are LearJets compared to the FET being a Cessna. If
speed is not an issue for you then it should be OK.
