Hi Guys,

I'm new to the hobby and have been doing some research into drives lately.

I've come across Gecko drives and see that they really don't offer breakout boards other than in a kit (i.e. G540)

Any recommendations on breakout boards for use with the Gecko drives?

Hi Johnny. Welcome to the Zone!

The Cadillac is the PMDX-132. This is what I recommend, because it is extremely simple to install:

Hi Johnny,

Have a look at the MB-02 breakout board I sell. It works very well with all Gecko drives and has a number of very useful features. Additionally, it has a connector that alows it to be hooked up to the smooth Stepper if that is the way you intend to go.

Hello Crevice Reamer,
That http://www.pmdx.com/PMDX-132 is for g203 stepper only, or can be used for g320 servo? Thanks.

5th item in the "features" says it does NOT support the servo drives.
