Re: MY 210 GECKO BURNED!!!!!!

I hate to be pessimistic, but I am pretty sure Mariss has mentioned
that shorting the outputs will blow the Gecko.

it is really important to triple check the wiring before powering on.

I ohm the leads with the motor connected, just before the connection
to the Gecko so I get the proper pair.
