Funways Robojac

I find the centipede to be a wonderful device and certainly easy to use and set up. Love the smooth performance.

I absolutely love my Centipede 416. Thank you for the massive effort that went into design, development, production, and refinement. The 416 is the pinnacle of scene hardware controllers and shows unlimited potential.

This machine is literally light years ahead of anything else on the market.

The Centipede 416 is very well thought out, including the script language, the versatility of control and access methods.

There is nothing on the market that compares with the Centipede 416. I think the biggest advantage of Centipede is all of the non e-Stim features.

I am blown away with the 416's capabilities! The box has a really good feel, I am especially fond of the ramp and random routines included.

Centipede 416 is the most amazing e-stim product I’ve ever seen or experienced. It’s versatility, power, and sophistication combine to take you for a hell of a ride!

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.”

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=-2.54

I’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?
