Speed Controller Duet (2)
construction, programming and the power units
Part 1 presented an overview of the system. In part 2, we deal with the construction of the SpeedControl unit, user programming with a PC (via the RS232 interface) and finally the construction of the two power units: SpeedPower 1 and SpeedPower 2.SpeedControl constructionThe printed circuit board for the SpeedControl unit is shown in Figure 4. For economic reasons, this board is only available in combination with one of the two SpeedPower boards (see the Components List), so the first task is to saw apart the two boards (if you so desire).If you work calmly and carefully with a fine-tipped soldering iron and keep to the components identified in the Components List, you shouldn’t have any problems assembling the circuit board. A servo extension cable that has been cut in two can be used for the connecting cable. It is a good idea to fit a ferrite toroidal core onto the cable to the receiver, since this will isolate the circuit from high frequency signals from the receiver, and the remaining length of the cable will not degrade signal reception.
