Re: GECKO resistors

This may all be moot. I find that setting current to about 2A, rather than 2.8, I get more speed while still more than enough power to grunt through heavy cutting. Remember, the more current, the longer it takes for it to build up (and decay) in the motor, reducing the ultimate speed. Might be worth a test or two. Miniscule difference between 2700 and 2900 in any event. No need for precision here.
