Re:Wiring of gecko drives in a CNC controller Im Building

Hi Alan,

This question has come up before. I previously suggested using four
separate switches, and I'm still of that opinion (I use four switches).
Why not just use a little 4PST switch (also previously suggested)?

I normally run with 'A' switched off, and the other's enabled.
