Re: 5 volts in Geckos G201?????

Mariss:
I have tried:
Pin 1 got 3.44 volts
Pin 2 got 1.743 volts
Pin 14 got 1.743 volts

Before I connect them to the geckos I get 5 volts

The problem is I can't make run the motors with Mach1.
But if I use another PC with Indexer LPT, runs fine.

Could the low voltage in the optos make not to run the motors?
