    Acorn and the Gecko 320x

    Hi all
    Just need the wiring for the step, direction and common from the Gecko to the acorn.
    It looks straightforward but it was also mentioned to follow the wiring diagram I believe for a 203 gecko stepper motor.
    The confusing part am I supposed to use pull up resistors.
    PS. Would the wiring be any different for the older Gecko 320. I have one older drive in the system. Trying to be careful I prefer not to see any smoke.

    Well. Centroid recommends a DB25 breakout board to connect the logic signals.
    Just have wait. Just ordered it.
    Got the power supply and acorn mounted today.

    Yes DB25 and no need to mess with resistors.
