The problem ?

haste, stupidity, and being tired.

I put the 35V pos DC line on the power ground terminal and the power
supply ground on the power in terminal.

What is really stupid is that I had tested everything on one axis to
make sure I was not making any stupid mistakes.

my proceedure has been to power up one axis at a time by adding each
in turn.

this was the second of three.

and the second fatailty I have experianced with Gecko's on my part.
the first was and still is a mystery, this one was deffinatly my fault.

These drives being 201- rev A drives, they are long out of warantee.
Actually, these were the last lot of the Rev-A and never really had a
warantee.

I do considder myself lucky.

I have been favored by he CNC gods to have gotten these and have never
had to use any other drives. I have tried many others, but keep
comming back to the Gecko's
