My hypothesis is that the black wire is ground, as it is in most applications, and the other two wires control the relays output, one being foward, the other being reverse. I don't plan on doing anything fancy, I understand that the spike can handle an input voltage up to 15VDC (correct me if im wrong) but I plan on using 2 small 6 volt batteries (or some configuration to get me close to 12VDC). A lot of writting for something simple, I know, but I would rather get it right the first time, I could guess and check, but without a spike module in front of me, I would have to wait until I get down to atlanta, and I would like to have this tool ready for use by then.

Note: I looked on www.innovationfirst.com first and couldnt find the pin out. So I did look before asking on the forum. |
you should have asked me, i did do the wiring for this years bot...remember
. Well the black cable is ground, the red is for 12vdc and the white is signal, and the spikes are made to run at 12Vdc (from 0-15 V @20 amps). The lovely work IFI does at keeping their work organized, thank you again.
