The Parkers are failing on you, that ought to be an indication SOMETHING in their design is poor. I think the Leadshines, at least maybe the first ones, were blatant ripoffs of the Gecko drive. > And is "it" worth the money.

Really, the only issue is to make sure the source of the step/direction signals has enough drive for the Gecko's opto-isolated inputs. I think the new ones require much less drive than their first models.
