Greetings all; My xylotex went pop,pop,pop when I hit the keyboard for a x move about 2 hours ago. Also the odor of burnt parts was in the air.
So, since this will be the 3rd xylotex to expire on me, I am inclined to look elsewhere for the next set of drivers. Looking at the Gecko G540, which isn't that much bigger, but would allow me to raise the motor voltage about 20 volts above what I have now. Its a package that puts 4 each 50 volt, 3.5 amp, 10 microstep G250's in an easily mountable package. I see I can get it for $242 + ship, which is more than the xylotex. What has been the general experience of this group with the G540? Cheers, gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
