Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Gecko problems - What is going on?

Hi
I'll get a picture this evening .
Mine came from the factory with steppers and an ancient controller
called a Bandit , that I replaced with 3 Gecko 201 drives an Axxus
interface card and a 60 Volt 10 amp power supply controlled by Mach 2
and now Mach3 .
No problems except the Z axis drives .
