Need schematic wiring communications from propeller to Positiion controller.

several objects in the propeller object exchange seem not to work.

at any rate I am a newby and please, I need some experienced person to point me in a right direction.

    Okay, first delete your other post which asks the same question please.

    Here is a diagram of the pins.

    The Data pin is the only one that gets connected to the propeller chip, use a 1K ohm resistor in series with it since the Position Controller operates on 5V and the Prop is 3.3V.
    The +5VDC pin should be connected to a regulated 5 volt supply and the GND pin is connected to ground.

    Notice that there are two sets of these pins, that is so that another position controller can be daisy-chained with the first while still using just one pin of the Propeller chip.

    The three bottom pins (one not used) is to control the HB25. It would probably work with other pulse-width based motor controllers as well.

    Note: Although I do own these devices I have not yet hooked them up, I'm confident that any errors I may have made will be pointed out shortly.

    Would you be able to check out / confirm this works with your setup?

    I have not yet installed my position controllers into anything, so I have no way to confirm.

    Could you post your Spin code?
