Most all of the conversion files can be found in the Files Section of the group's home page.

The positive ground is one of the reasons the the SS2K was removed from the US market. Something to keep in mind if you Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:53:08 GMT Ralph Javins http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11865 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11865 Good morning, Chris; Two things; (1.) I understand that there are differences in stepper motors and servo motors. In the design of the guiding system under Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:51:09 GMT Christopher Erickson http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11864 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11864 I believe those are stepper motors so it won't be a simple tracing of motor voltage wires.

The Vixen MT-1 Decl. and R.A. Motor Drive Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:50:41 GMT Franciszek Cesarski http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11862 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11862 Thank you, gentlemen, I have read some of the older posts and I understand the issue. I have a DH set, but even with the mod/fix it has runaway problems.

The original CG-5 tracking-only motor is a simple stepper based with high gear-down. It is not in the same family as in Autostar based DC Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:43:03 GMT George Cushing http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11859 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RoboScope/message/11859 The CG-5 drives are Synta sourced steppers the DS2K uses servos as did Al's. Easier to adapt the DS2k drives to the CG-5.

The design is to increase the PWM chopping frequency, better motor drive power.

I see a few of these for sale and I was wondering whether it is worth buying one for the pillar
