Hi Gene, Those 3 pins you mentioned are +5v outputs I believe(Or at least that's what i use them for). To use the signal output row (the connector row opposite the db25) i only need to connect the usb plug to my computer. To get the inputs working i had to connect a +12v source to the 12-24 input.
Note that the ground planes are isolated from each other. So the input row grounds from the +12-24 connectors (by the relay) and the output row uses the ground from the three screw terminal connectors...or at least on my version. Hope I made some sense, otherwise I can probobly take some pictures of how it looks on my setup. /Peter 2015-10-07 17:55 GMT+02:00 Gene Heskett <[email protected]>: > On Wednesday 30 September 2015 23:25:05 Gene Heskett wrote: > > > On Wednesday 30 September 2015 12:47:41 Peter Rosenblom wrote: > > > Hi Gene, > > > > > > I got a link with the purchace of a bob just like that: > > > http://www.icstation.com/ebay/IC/All%20data%20modules/1849.zip (I > > > havent gotten viruses, but click at your owm risk) > > > > Didn't seem to be any worse than other M$ created pdf's.
