SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PMDX 407 Need help

« on: February 25, 2015, 02:53:35 PM »

I have the PMDX 407 and at this point I have tried several different combinations of wiring with no sucsess.
I am converting an early model SpectraLight, it presently has a potentiometer.   The speed control is made by Minarik Electric  model  MM31002A
I first tried taking the three wires from the pot and wired different combinations to J3 , I tried a separate power source. I also tried two wires on J2 and 1 wire on J3 out.
although using J2 started and stopped the spindle motor ,I still had no speed control.

RED LED ON FOR 1 SECOND
GREEN LED SLOW 1 SECOND BLINKING

RELOADED THE SMARTBOB PLUG IN   2ND
RELOADED THE FIRMWARE       LAST
REINSTALLED  MACH4 SOFTWARE     1ST

NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE DOWNLOADED PROFILE
THE FLASHING GREEN BUTTON ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGES TO RED WHEN CLICKED
AT THIS POINT THE SYSTEM SHOWS NO ERRORS IN HISTORY

I WOULD EXPECT THE DS1 OUTPUTS ENABLED TO BE ON (LED LIT) IT IS NOT LIT,..........WHAT DID I MISS?
