    My geckos have a mind of their own

    Hi Group

    I have a problem with my x and y axis moving when
    the power is turned on to the geckos. This occurs before
    any g-code is run. I have the 470 cap wired to the power
    terminals of the geckos. I thought this might solve the
    problem but that does not seem to be the case. I`m using
    the G210 Geckos


    Thanks

    Is this with the control software running? The control software should be running before power is applied to the Geckos. If the software is running, then it sound like you may have noise on your step and direction lines.
