Who is interested in a groupbuy of Mark Kelly's DC controller PCB and related parts - Page 60

So who else apart from vinyladdict have completed their controller? And what are your thoughts on the results?

Mark-

I've received the pulley! Thanks for all your effort.... I never really appreciated how 'sizeable' this pulley was going to be - It's almost as big as the Maxon A-max motor it's to be used with !!

Thanks again,

-Andy-

I'm working on my own version (with my own PCB design, simpler version without the dip switch)with an enclosure that match the platform I did for my Gyrodec. I got all the parts. Pictures will follow pretty soon. Bye...

Hi All,
has anyone manages to find a supplier for the pcb components yet?
I have had no joy here in the uk. Tried RS, Farnell,Maplin etc and none of them can supply all the parts and all of them require special order for some of the components.
So if someone knows of a supplier in any country and has a saved order that i can copy, i would be very greatful.
Cheers
ian

This weekend I experienced an very fortunate, unfortunate event. My daughter got the Flu. Then she gave it to my wife. This all happened while they were visiting my in-laws. Now my mother-in-law is sick as well. I somehow dodged the bullet and have been able to succesfully stay away from the House of Disease. So, I have actually had time to do what I want for 4 days now. It is amazing how little time it actually takes to make progress compared to how long it takes to get the time and energy to actually make the progress.

I don't know if anyone else has gotten their motor drive up and running. I finished the wiring on mine this morning and everything seems to be working perfectly. I still have a bunch of enclosure work to do, but it is nice to know the controller and motor work before you sink a ton of time into pretty enclosures. Here are some pics of the partially finished PCB case and motor running. The battery is a bit of overkill, but when you have a 33 amp hour battery sitting on the shelf, there is no reason to go with less than retched excess.

So, it is back to the shop to see what other progress I can make today

.

Thank you again to Mark Kelly for his hard work and time.

The LED is supposed to stay on when the motor is on. When the motor is off and the charger is on, the LED is off.
