Here's the second set of pictures - of the manual controller box, and the circuit board which is the heart of the controller, . Not much explanation that's worthwhile, except to say there's more ics than strictly necessary as I chose to keep the circuits that look after the push buttons completely separate from the ones that look after the wheel. This means a lot more wiring up, and the circuit board is an old rapid prototyping board I happened to have from 10+ years ago. These are now unobtainable and were very expensive in their day so I can't recommend that as a way of duplicating the unit. the bottom view shows the volume of wiring.

(looks like this will take 3 posts due to the attachment size limit)



I'll add some more remarks about duplicating the above in the next post - it doesn't have to be this hard!!

Sometimes I'm glad I didn't go into the electronics!!!!!!  :bugeye:

There's a lot of stuff in there Chris!!... Your a lucky man Peter to know someone who understands that lot!!


Chris, just a note, if you take a look at the post about pic's You might find it easier in the long run?

I know Bog's has a slightly  :offtopic:  question about LED's too.... If he's not too quick to ask then I will as I want to know the answer too!

For future reference, how would I go about making a lighting block that only lit the lights as the votage got higher. So say the first one came on at say 6v, the second at 8v etc, and when it reached say a max of 20v sound a buzzer that will warn me to start slowing it down.

Wiggly amps and electric string are not my strong points, I basically understand things, so please, no words longer than three syllables.
