Yes, Tim! As usual, I didn't do the math right, and I was confusing C with F
in my tiny feeble mind. NO issue!

BUT, the Gecko drives DO cut-back the "at-rest" current so that steppers
don't COOK, if one axis is mostly at stand-still, as the "Z" motor on a lathe
often is during roughing!

Mariss?

The paint stays the same color, too!
