    Gecko 540 question (noob)

    I have 3 4 wire motors. I am want to upgrade to a Gecko 540 driver
    G540 4-Axis Motor Control

    Do I have to order special cables to use this or can I connect my 4 wires to the pin ports on the side? If I should use the cables, could you please provide a link to an inexpensive resource?

    If anyone has used the pin ports on the side could they please post a picture and explain their setup?

    THANKS!!

    The manual shown on that web page you have the link to shows how to hook up your motors. They go into the DB9 connetors on top of the unit. Use pins 6-9 and add current resistor to match the amp rating of the motor. You might be able to buy the connector but you can also wire one up. Its not difficult.
