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

Mariss:

Alan was right.
Maybe this was not a game port but a network card.
I took the 5 volts from the PC Power Supply and the motors ran.

In this process two motor cables short and a Gecko stop running.
The fuse is ok, so must be the Gecko.

Two days working with this, I must be tired.

Is there a way to repair a gecko?

Best regards
Raul Lara
