Well, progress report, sort of. That pdf doesn't have the clearest annotation in quite a few places. And, when I go to hook up another of the ports (besides the relay, that is working great) to turn on another transistor which will in turn drive a 24 volt coiled ICE CUBE to be used to switch a small vacuum cleaner on to collect the dust from the cuttings, nothing happens! None of the rest of the ports on this card seem to be responding to a toggling of hm2_5i25.022.gpio, and I can see it being toggled on a halmeter. So, my next question is: Does the rest of this BoB's I/O depend on having the 3 screw connectors on the rear of the card, labeled from left to right with the db25 and usb connectors facing down, so the back row is then at the top, with the first 2 connectors labeled as PC5V and the third one labeled PCGND, need to have power separately applied in addition to having the usb cable plugged in? I can muck up a ground from the supply I made, but the two regulated sources are 12 & 24 volts, no 5 volts other than what it steals from a USB port cable. If thats the case, I will need to add yet another of those buck regulators to the box, and figure out where to put it, in order to supply that 5 volts. I am also sorry I ever bought the %$#@* thing. > Stuff like this keeps me out of the bars don'tcha know. > > Thanks Peter > > Cheers, Gene Heskett Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
