General Mach Discussion / Re: Can not increase motor velocity (65mm/min). Why?

I think all the information you need to know about stepper motors and their drivers is contained in the Gecko documentation here; http://www.geckodrive.com/support.html
(Basically, Torque is a function of motor Current and Speed is a function of motor Voltage. 5 volts is unlikely to produce a reasonable speed performance).
Try reducing your Acceleration in motor tuning and see if that enables more motor speed before the stall. Also reduce your Kernel speed to 25kHz (35kHz is not helping you).
