When the motor is moving this signal is a pulse train whose width is inversely proportional to the frequency. To make the pulse wider you slow the frequency.

I don't think this is correct, but someone else will need to back me up on this. Are you saying if you double the pulse width, you cut your speed in half? I don't think so.

Well I checked the settings in turbocnc and made sure I matched the settings of the X & Z axis to the working Y axis. Made no difference. Currently set with the accel at 250, pulse width at 10 fast jog at 15000

Checked to be sure I have 24 volts going into each gecko...I do.
Checked to be sure I have 5V at pin 10 at each gecko.....I do.

Is there a way to check how much current is going to the motors? I am wondering if I have a short between the geckos and steppers or something.

Suggestions as to what to check next?

I had emailed Art at CNC4PC to get some input on the breakout board and minipower supply I am using and I feel I have that stuff wired correctly. Perhaps an email to Mariss will be next to see if he has any ideas.

What did you do with the 5V supply ground?

[Hack]

I did nothing withe 5V ground. In my email with Art (CNC4PC) he stated that it is not needed. The Y axis works wonderfully like this, Can't understand why it would make a differrence on the other 2 axis. I have tried taking the Ground on this circuit to the ground on the BOB and made no difference.
