6 leads? But, you connected the Gecko 320 (or 340) to a particular
2 wires? If the motors spin continuously, then they must be DC
brush motors. Now, you need to figure out how the encoder
needs to be hooked up. The Gecko servo drives must have an
encoder to sense motor position.

The Gecko does not need the tachometer.
