Hopefully Steve will allow me one post on this subject. I don't
belong to E101 as yet.

You may wish to join the CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO Yahoo group, too. This sort
of thing is right up their street, and there are folks there using
Gecko's in many different configurations. Mariss Freimanis, the
designer/producer of Gecko drives, is a frequent contributor
there as well.

Here's the email add'y from his postings:

Good luck!
