Hi Jason

Where do you see these different versions of a Geckodrive G203V (http://www.geckodrive.com/product.cfm?pid=38) ? The last I looked, it only came in one flavour.

Because the PMDX-122 does not have opto-isolation (to the drives)

Thanks for that test Mike! A single pulse (1/2000th motor rev) is not going to bother us.

Mixing the drive types

Another reason I am staying with the G202 is because we have 2x control boxes running 8x G201/2's off 2x PMDX-122 BOBs. (Have another 4x G202's on the shelf - Sean has 1 more). Should a G202 need...

If you are using Gecko 203's you can drop the external fuses - they have internal fuses. (Fuse type is not available in Cape Town - one of the reasons I am staying with the G202)
