Re: BOSS5 Where to plug the Geckos???

Brady,

The existing powersupply will be up to the task if it lasts, but I
can tell you that mine did not. You can always replace it later if
need be.

The pesky transistors are part of the old motor drive system and you
will be bypassing them with the Geckos. The door now that has all
the parts mounted on it including the transistors can be completely
gutted except for the terminal block on the bottom where the wires
from the motors connect. You will see how my installation before
and after photos look.

I will try to get the schematics put together soon.
