Need opinions on Gecko wiring.

Hi
I know this is a big request. I'm getting ready to rewire my control
and have posted a wiring diagram in the files section called "dereks
wiring" . I'm hoping a few intrepid volunteers could take a look and
give me their opinion on this.
My current configuration is best summed up as the old " 10 pounds of
s--t in a 5 pound enclosure" . My system has suffered noise issues
from day one. I recently aquired a fairly large enclosure that will
hold all of the components including the motherboard so I decided
the time was ripe for new wiring.
What's not shown on the diagram are the caps that gecko recommends
on the power side of the drives and differential drivers and
receivers I'm using on the encoders. I think I have the single point
ground done correctly but I'm not sure if I handled the bridge
ground to cap properly. Using a ground rod next to the machine as
opposed to the wall outlet was suggested to me by a technician who
was installing a large CNC router at the shop next door.
I'm showing Alan Rothenberg's error reset controller that I haven't
been able to get working despite numerous efforts by Alan to get it
to work. Hopefully after all of this I'll have some success. The 5V
power supply is one that Alan supplied to me.
Lastly I'd like to thank Donald Brock for creating the original DXF
wiring diagram that I modified. Boy was that a time saver.
Thanks
Derek
