curiosity more than anything, as my table seems to be running fine:
i'm running two 6amp steppers via two Gecko 210's.
they're each wired with 270k resistors ie, 6A.
when i measure the current draw from the powersupply, its about
1 amp for each gecko.. even at top (table) speed.
again, 6amp rated motors seem to be running fine.
am i missing something?
or does this imply that i could've built this table with 2amp rated
steppers (ie cheaper)?
