I'm the shipping manager for Reid-Ashman Mfg. We make test head manipulators for some of the Agilent test systems.

I ship to Agilent all the time, but mostly Stateside, and Singapore.

Great Work
 

great work ph2t. you actually finished it:) and seeing it work is just sweet.

do you have anything finalized yet? i wanna start makin one:D .

also, did you consider using a joystick of some sort for the pot?

edit- woops, this thread was so long i must've missed the lines regarding the joysticks, my bad.

what???????????

Yo NOS, what are you on? ;)



ph2t.

what do u mean what ime on?

Your post just says....what???????????

?

ph2t.

fr get it

NOS, please make a constructive comment or nothing at all.....


ph2t.

ph2t - any luck finding micro components to replace the standard ones? Would be great to fit into a standard controller.

dont edit my post!!!!!!!:mad:

differnt propo
 

hey, did you know http://www.bitmod.tk has done a propo controller? it only works forwards though.

its called Stepless speed(translated) or Stufenlose Geschwindigkeit

i saw this a long time ago but never bothered to translate it.

NOS man,

I'll ask you to NOT post nasty comments on our Forums.

Modjo: This circuit is similar to what Ejaf is designing. You can get the translation here .

It's a 555 timer setup as an astable oscillator, what's interesting is that the designer used an opto-coupler to ground the input from the IC. I might try that since it's tricky to be able to pull the pin from the TX2 IC to ground properly using my design.

Bencloned: Mate I've gotta get the design final yet before I microsize it! :D I would like to be able to fit it into my controller but with the use of POTS now for steering and accel it will be hard to maintain the original enclosure.

Just a quick update:

I've gone a bought two daul-gang pots so finally I can now test the design for forwards AND backwards with full proportionality (emulation of course). These pots have a "centre-click" feature which will be usefull when calibrating them later..

Also, I went to buy some opto-couplers from Jaycar but the @#$% closed before I could get there :mad:, so I'm gonna have to wait on that.....

So Modjo and Efarel please be patient, I will have this finalised during the next few days and I'll update the schematic with the correct values soon....

cheers,

ph2t.

Thanks 4 update
 

thank you for the update. take ur time. the more "finalized" it is the better. but don't feel obligated to finish it if ur busy with other stuff.

i'll just sit here staring at the screen till u post somethin:(


:D
