Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Blown Gecko 320..Strange noises from control???

Future Active Industries. They only sell to commercial customers as I recall
and don't generally sell 1 or 2 pieces. They sell those caps in bags of 100
pieces.
I was getting a heating problem with about 14" of wire to the power
terminals until I put the caps on the leads. You'd have to ask Mariss but I
bet that not having those caps in place are a silent killer of the Gecko
drives.
If you 100UF cap isn't warm them you are probably OK.
