Re: Gecko connection to unipolar stepper??

Wayne,

I use signal ground(SG), ground(GND) and Earth, to deal with the
main conflicts here. When necessary, things like 5vGND make sense.

The point is to minimise confusion whenever possible. that's at
least part of making a great product. Along with that--and perhaps
even more important--comes the opportunity to update when a prior
choice shows itself to be easily and often misunderstood

(Which is the case here, at least from my limited vantage point.
I've seen perhaps a hundred or more posts by folks who've made the
same mistake that Ron just did. From here, that seems a lot. To
Mariss, sitting in front of tens of thousands that I never see, it
may not.)

I don't know all behind-the-scenes; but have seen it misunderstood
often enough on various groups to think it might be worth a revisit,
and so posted as much.
