gecko replaced xylotex

Thanks to all who helped with the power supply, Xylotex replacement on my
minimill! The Gecko G540s moved the minimill last night, and we actually
cut a part! Still running off 24V power supply, but steppers seem smoother.
I'd better check the microstepping setting in MACH - just remembered that.

One more question though - I copied the old "minimill" XML and made the
pinouts etc correct, then ran the unit and found the "steps per unit length"
in MACH were now off by about 24%. So was I really missing that many steps
with the Xylotex, or is there some other reason that I don't understand??

Thanks again and HAPPY Thanksgiving!
