Hi Marty,

yes I have downloaded the manual but have not read much of it yet.

I would like to just get going on this but I still need to build the control box and am lost there.

I should have the Estop button and the encoder today. I just don't know what else I need for the control box.

Hi Marty,

No I don't have a build album.

Thanks
Dave

Hi Marty, Thank you for the confirmation on the correct sensor. It doesn't look like a magnet comes with it (or maybe I a missing it in the description) did you have to order a separate magnet for this sensor?

Hi Marty,

Thanks
Dave

Is there any wire diagrams for the control box on Centroids site or this site? As far a I know these are the items i still...

Hi Marty, I took that picture from one of your videos on YouTube yesterday while I was at work. So the first thing I did when I got home last night was move some jumpers around and then move the one cable to the third connector that is for Axis 2(X). After I made these changes it worked! :D I then s...

Hi Marty,

Thank you I will try this tonight when I get home from work.

Is this where I need to make the changes in the wizard?




P.S. I did keep the Golf Cart!
