    Reversing Stepper - Wires

    I know, I can just put a - on the axis in controller setup and make the motor run in the right direction and I know that Gecko says just switch around the A and A- leads on coil A terminals 3 & 4. But I read somewhere, and now can't find it, that swapping 5 & 6 on coil B does the same thing, right or wrong??
    Thanks Gecko guys. B.G.

    This is a G202 Drive

    Switching wires

    Switching wires on either connection a or b will do the trick. It doesn't really matter which one you switch. It is just a matter of conveniece to mention only lead A.

    Smile Connections and prices

    You know I read that someplace else and can't find it when I needed. I know I'm being picky, but the one that runs in the right direction has B motor wires connected differant.

    Why do I care, I took the connections from the old controller / drive (XYZ Pro III) and just wanted all the colors to match.

    Are your prices on your website in USD? How would you ship to US? Thanks. B.G.
