In Reply to: coding, motors, spikes, help Posted by bill whitley on 2/13/2001 5:00 PM EST: :1) Can the Van Door motor be run from a toggle switch? It requries a speed controller, correct? Yes and no. Yes its possible but it is not allowed. :2) When wiring in the pneumatic pump, do we run direct 12V power to the compressor, and then connect spike to the solenoids? Where does the pressure switch come into play? To use the pressure switch, you should hook the compressor to a relay as well as the solenoids. Note that you have do a little soldiering to accomplish this. I think that you *may* be able to have +5 to go directly to the circuit board and have gnd go through the pressure switch but I haven't tried it yet. :3) Can both the globe & window motors be run from toggle switches & spikes? For the window motor, yes and yes. For the globe motor, you'll need a speed controller BUT you can use a toggle switch. Go to the link on the bottom labeled Innovation FIRST to get the code example of how to use a toggle switch to control a speed controller. But basically, it's like the following: IF (switch var) = 0 then NEXTSTEP pwmX = 254 'going forward and full speed, 127 = neutral, > 127 = forward, |
