Re: Newbe needs help

Scott,

http://www.geckodrives.com/ycom/documents/C163R21_step_motor_white_pa
per.pdf is the "white paper" describing basics of motor connections
for the Gecko drives. Page 10 says the current draw is 1/2 when
connected in series, so it seems you would wire the motor for 4.6
amps if wired in parallel. You might want to read the paper's
description of wiring 8 wire motors as well on page 8 stating the
same relationship. Hope this helps.
