Anaheim

Is anyone here familiar with Anaheim? (www.anaheimautomation.com) I
looked through their products, but their price list is being updated
and is currently unavailable. I know they'll be more expensive than
Gecko's, but it seems like a lot of the little lizards have been
burning up lately (just from reading these messages). Most of the
Anaheim driver's have motor miswiring protection built in. They
even have a stepper/driver combo built together in the same case,
just a cable to hook your pulse generator to. I was about to throw
out my old Boss 5, but I think you guys have convinced me to go with
Geckos or at least something similar. Did I understand right that
geckos only use 2 of the 4 windings? How does this affect its
performance? I'm probably wrong, and I know it does work, but this
doesn't seem like the "correct" way to make a machine run. (but hey,
as long as its running right?) Anyway, just looking for some
thoughts of the more experienced before I get the courage to dig
into this project.
