Re: Gecko connection to unipolar stepper??

Mariss,

I think you've answered the question in your reply!<G>

Shared has the same meaning, but NOT the same connotation.

Perhaps that's the answer?

If folks were hooking up the "shared" term, they'd not make
the "common"<G> mistake of thinking term 10 should go to ground...

And 'shared' and 'common' each have 6 letters, so the look of the
labelling wouldn't suffer...
