    Re: connecting shielding

    Use pins 2, 3 or 4 on the DB-9 connector for grounding a shield. The shield should be unterminated at the motor end. Be careful connecting the shield wire to the DB-9 connector, don't let it touch any of the other pins or it will result in instant death for that axis drive.

    Is this why on the gecko cables I dont measure continuity from one end connector to the other ?
    I mean the metalic part of the db9 from one end to the other end.
    Is this part connected to the shield? There is continuity on my db25...
