    Re: SIEG C2 control board help needed

    This should get you in the ballpark - it is a 120 volt version but the wiring is pretty much the same.

    Re: SX3 Controller running on a SX2 motor

    Thanks for the reply ! You are correct that shipping would be a major issue and it would probably cost too much. Here in the US we have 'Flat Rate Boxes' for $20US that allow unlimited weights...

    SX3 Controller running on a SX2 motor

    Had anyone else tried this ? I connected an SX3 powerboard to a SX2 motor. I can get it to run for a second or so, but then the motor over-speeds and shuts down. I thought perhaps the hall effect...

    Re: Speed Control For SX3 ?

    I made a breakout board to test the signals between the XMT-SK and the motor control board. The problem with the START/STOP function is a missing jumper (See attached photo) that must be installed on...

    Re: Speed Control For SX3 ?

    Interesting, very interesting. Does the start/stop issue exist when the interface is used with the SX2 as well ? Do any signals appear on the controller side of the interface board when the...

    Re: Speed Control For SX3 ?

    FWIW I'm in the middle of a project involving the aforementioned interface - The start/stop pin doesn't seem to be working correctly, and I'm waiting on a second board to compare readings. After...

    Re: Speed Control For SX3 ?

    I wish I did have official schematics - everything I have on the SX3 is reverse engineered - handwritten notes based on voltage/scope readings, etc. I think someone on this forum may have previously...

    Re: Speed Control For SX3 ?

    Thanks for the reply- I have already repaired the board I currently have, and am attempting to build a full mock-up so I can easily and quickly repair more of the SX3 boards. I already have a test...

    Re: Speed Control For SX3 ?

    I'm interested in speaking with someone who has successfully used a XMT-SK interface with an Gecko G540 to drive an SX3, The pinout for the XMT-SK is not well described in the documentation I have....

    Re: ISO ATMEGA8 test code for SX3 / SX4

    Yes, I do understand that the SX3 as well as the SC2 , SX2 and SC4 all use an Atmel chip acting as an encoder. What I am looking for is someone who has written code for the ATMEGA8 which would allow...

    Has anyone in the group managed to write code for the Atmel chip in the SX3 that would allow step-by-step or some type of manual control of the motor drivers ? I am searching for something I could...

    It's interesting reading - I'm beginning to think Sieg never released adjustment data for their boards. I think a little common sense listening to the machine motor may be the best way to adjust the...
