Bingo.. I'm wired up and ready to go, just need to give the bezel a few more coats of paint and complete the mount before I give 'er a go. Work has moved to overtime, so progress on the cab takes backseat again :-\ I'm wired according to pulse modulation, so we'll see how that plays out. I'm thinking I will also a wire some emergency shutoff switch until I trust the rig, wiring, and config.
Still looking forward to turning it on.. sorry I've given no feedback thus far. Instructionally, your pdf rules if that helps any :laugh:

I have been testing your program on the computer Im going to use for my mame machine, I have been experiencing some erratic behavior, but I probably dont have my config file set up right.
The job that pays me to be there has required that I be there, so I havent had much time to play around with it.
I was waiting until I can confirm what Im doing before I emailed you.
Actually, the H drive I built is the same as the one Koz319 did for his project, and the maximum on it is 5 amps.
(better make sure you use heatsinks on the power transistors if you push it that high).
Unless you are talking about my relay drive, it is good for as many amps as the relays you use are rated for.
Speed control is impossible for a relay drive though. (Or at least very impracticable.)

No Hurry... You may want to send me an email with your config and tell me what you are seeing. My rig is breadboarded so I can switch it around to match to a certain degree.. Its entriely possible that my program is not functioning like I think it should, which is why i needed guinea pigs, wait, I mean beta testers..
My job has also picked up a bit and I having less time to fool with this stuff, but I will make and effort if I know folks are having problems..

My only concern is the PMW isn't completely smooth yet. I wanted to return to the code and ifgure how to up the prioirty of the thread, but haven't done so yet. Otherwise I THINK it should work. Mine works strobing the regular inputs and not the enable. The enable SHOULD work though, but my test here was pretty cursory.
FOr the intial tests you might just make the timout very short. The program will put the motor into "brake mode" when it reaches the timeout-- no matter what switches are pressed. or you can put a switch on the enable lead. If that is low, the chip is off and the motor won't respond to anything the PC tells it to do.
Don't worry about trying to get it tested quickly.. it happens when it happens, just as its going to get fixed when it gets fixed when/if its broke... :>)

Probably not. But since I have reached the stage of life where I am contemplating getting fixed myself, I am not sure it matters ..... ;D
Seriously though, if someone encountered a problem with the plugin I would do my best to get some time and fix it...
