    Mach 3 Gecko

    Stupid question, but will Mach 3 run a GeckoDrive G100?

    Yes, but it's still in development and there may be some bugs, and all features are not yet implemented. The firmware for the G100 is still being developed, which is delaying Mach3's development for the G100.

    I read something on one of the forums that confuses me. With the G100 do I need the use Gecko 201s also? The product guide on geckodrive.com reads as though the G100 will drive everyhting directly.

    The G100 does not drive the motors. You'll need drives for each motor.
