Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] which way resistor goes for current setting on Geckos??

Thanks again for the info everyone.
AND JanRwl.....I paid too much money for these drivers, not to ask questions in order to connect them correctly. I might as well just toss them in the trash if Im not going to connect them right.
I was taught WELL........To ask questions when you need clarification on something,even when it makes you sound kind of stupid =)
Regards,
Jim

Probably someone else has responded to this question already, but here's MY
2� worth:

A resistor is NOT like a semiconductor or battery, anymore than a piece of
wire with bits of paint on it! It will work the SAME, either way.

However, many of us "electronic types" will orient resistors with the
color-codes from left to right, just as the digits they represent, so they
are easier to read "at a glance". The GREY=8, the RED=2, and the ORANGE,
when it's the third band like this, means "three zeros" or "K". That is, you
have an 82K[ohm] resistor. The GOLD (last) band is the TOLERANCE. Gold
means "�5%" (Silver would have been �10%, and NO band means �20%).

Good you asked, as SOME would just "stick it in and TRY it", and possibly
wipe something out, had they NO clue what they were up to!

Lotsa luck! Jan Rowland
