    Picstep board voltage question

    Wondering if the Picstep board would handle a +/- 13v power supply. Instead of something like a +30v supply. Will a +/- rail be just as good as a +/ground?

    You could probably ignore the ground connection on your +-13 supply and get 26v. High voltage is needed for speed.
