Sounds suspicious. But, he could be right, in a sense. The Gecko
drives have a different
spec for the time the direction line may change with respect to the step
pulse. Some software
work the direction line in the right way, some don't. With some of
them, reversing the polarity
of the step pulse fixes the problem.

Does anyone use Gecko drives with Flashcut, and have it working right?
