Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] bridgeport - geckodrives and mach 2

Hi Aaron,

I have converted my Series 1 BP to Geckos and Mach2. The machine
performs far better than with the original BOSS5 control. Rapids are
about twice as fast and movement is much smoother.

Geckos are slightly undersized for the Bridgeport steppers but they work
quite well if the motors are wired using only two coils and the Geckos
are run at full current and about 75V.
