HI All Is it absolutly nessesary to have a breakout board on a gecko G340
Adds say that the Gecko Needs 16 MA to operate and PCs only put out 10 MA
other than for isolation for the computer do we really need one or is it a sales pitch from breakout board Mfgrs to sell there product. The reason I ask is I am loosing steps somewheres on my X axis only and want to eliminate or temporary eliminate my breakout board to see where the problem is.
