I dont understnad how you hook up the gekko controls. now this is a simplistic answer im looking for. I see the others (hobby cnc and xylotex) are printer out put to driver board to steppers with power to driver.

Now the gekkos are 1 board 1 axis (unless otherwise listed). So Printer port Split to each driver board with a stepper attached to each one and power to each board.

Thanks for your help.

Correct. Most use a breakout board to simplify things, and add options like limit switches and relays.
