My Gecko Drive came in today, I am looking forward to getting it going tomorrow, I am using a superior stepper motor, I will document my travels with pictures starting from now as well as write an article on it, I have found much useful information however it is all scattered all over, why pay thoulsands of dollars for a hobby machine if you can save the money and purchase Gecko Drives. As for the difference in the drive steppers there is a visible difference when looking at them you can tell I will get a picture of a superior Motor and try and scan the other one from my manual Boss 5 it shows what they basically look like. It is important as I have been informed that these original motors will work but you will not be able to microstep witht them, if you need this feature you will need to change to another motor. For my project it is just a hobby and I will stick with the originals, the machine has little time on it due to comming from a college, however it still may of had a hard life.
