    Question G320 "common" or "+5vdc" why do they vary?

    I have 2 gecko G320's and mine say "Common" next to step/direction.

    1. Why do some diagrams say +5vdc instead?

    2. I have a C11 Bob from cnc4pc, Can I run that to "com" pin located next to Xstep and Xdir or should I move my Jumpers so that "Com" becomes +5Vdc?

    Help is much appreciated

    Should I use the Com terminals in between the white wires on the BOB for Ground or +5Vdc?

    Figured it out on my own.

    The geckos need +5Vdc at the terminal labled common.

    I switched jumpers on the c11 BOB so that "com" was +5Vdc.

    I wonder why my gecko says "common" and not "+5Vdc"?

    Motors are movin = FEELGOOD!
