Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] blown Gecko - shorted output ?

Hi Dave,

First, If you're using a PC for the motor power supply, GET RID OF IT!
Not enough voltage, transformer less, and it's reguated. Now regulated
might not be too bad, but a liner supply is no more then a xfmr, bridge
and cap (OK, some fuzes, etc.). If you care enough to buy Geckos...
