More Info:
I opened the control box. It is a 3 conductor pot which I numbered 1-3 left to right.(wish I could post a pic).
I put a meter set to 20vDC on the contacts with the machine running and got the following:
B1 / R3 | 0= 1.57 | Full= 1.90
B3 / R1 | 0=-1.57 | Full=-1.90
B1 / R2 | 0= 1.90 | Full= 0
B2 / R1 | 0=-1.98 | Full= 0
B2 / R3 | 0= 0 | Full= 2.48
B3 / R2 | 0= 0 | Full=-2.54I’m not an expert, but I believe this means it’s topping out at 2.54 volts?
Will the Relay Pod interact with this properly to manage the variable speed of the stroker?I can never see the original posts for anything in this forum, so I’m replying to my new post with the same text…
“Has anyone used the relay pod to operate the Funways Robojac milker? Funways is gone now, so I can’t get any technical specs from them, but I have one of their machines and would like to be able to control it from the Centipede.
The Robojack has a remote dial that adjusts the speed of the pump. Suction and stroke length is set from a dial on the machine. I have no idea what the internal voltage for the control box is. I think it is just a dial pot to adjust the voltage to the pump for variable speed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.”Going to add that I tried a standard Wifi setup with my tablet and it worked as expected.
Just can’t get any kind of Centipede operational interface on a directly connected monitor/keyboard setup.
