Re: CIM->Victor 884->Arduino not working
Ok so here's the update I tryed putting a resistor in line with the signal wire to lower the current, but it still didn't work. So I opened up the victor (which just as an fyi on the pcb says Victor 883 rev F so it's still mainly the same as the victor 883) and found that it had a CNY17F optocoupler inside and based on the data sheet I was pretty sure that I blew it. I then hooked in some alligator clips to test and again I was pretty sure that it was busted. Now we've soldered out the CNY17F and are going to replace it with a PS2501 optocoupler. The pins don't match up exactly so we've snapped of two pins of a 4DIP IC socket and am soldering into where the CNY17F was and we're going to stick the PS2501 into another 4DIP IC Socket and join the two socket by the appropriate pins.
When this is all finished the victor should (fingers crossed) function.
