Hi,

Hi,

Hi Hans

My AT system is not yet functional (with PSX) - Im using the Simstack Solution for all my I/O -

Two Options:
1. Use the PWM servo output from the Simstack card, and use the H Bridge like earlier
2. Run the DC Motor directly from the card (3A limit per output channel) - perhaps not the right way..

As discussed elsewhere, John and Rod are adding functionality to the system daily... So Im still deciding... Ive been focusing on switches, pots and lamps first... will move on to servo and other exotic bits down the road..

In theory, A PWM servo signal should be able to drive the H Bridge

Perhaps there will be functionality in the cards to run the OEM AC motor down the line...

there's a slightly long-winded post of my earlier system..
