Re: Gecko 210s l- limited rapids

Steven,

I thought they were Nema 34 but the spec I just reviewed says they
are 4.2 inch diameter. Does that make them Nema 42? I do not find
any information about such a jumper.

It looks like there is a #10 terminal that is supposed to be
connected to the common 5vdc power supply but it is not connected.
I wonder if that could be part of the problem?
