    Hi @Majony i checked mine and they are not labeled so i couldn't tell what are connected to what. i did look for the instructionsa as i assume thats how i found i how to connect them but no joy.

    I dont know what the P or A are on your connectors so cant help with that but as long as you dont use your red wire and ground wire is correct you can just swap the green and white if it doesnt work

    Ill get a picture of one of mine when i home tonight for you. i did look at mine the other day but they were not labeled.
    As long as black is ground you will be fine. DONT use VCC. The D+ and D- are DATA + and - so that is for your white and green.

    Just in case you can't see it properly it's black far left, then white and then green. The far right is the empty one. Hope it helps mate

    Hi Jay,

    Awesome simulator! congrats on the build!

    You mention you should have gone with the SCN6 200mm actuator for traction loss. Do you still think this or are you happy with the 150mm now?

    I've got a SCN5 150mm actuator for traction loss and I think it's pretty well balanced. Just curious to know why you would want to go for the 200mm :D

    Cheers

    Hi Mate.

    Im Happy with the traction loss too. Its just for the difference in price i might as well have got the 200mm. if i need the extra throw distance i would just move my current actuator closer to the pivot but its pretty good as it is

    Yeah I get what you mean. I think the price different is around 13,000 YEN which is worth the extra 50mm you would get from the 200mm. I'm in the process of building a similar setup to yours. I may need to ask you some questions if I get stuck putting everything together if that's ok? :)

    Cheers mate

    Yea that's fine mate. I'm not sure if scn5s will have the power to lift the rig though or are you buying new ones?

    Thanks, I appreciate it! I'll be building a new one the same as yours with the 4x HyperAxis and 1x SCN6. Can you confirm that only the 2x PSU are needed (48V12.5A & 24V4.5A) to power all 5x actuators? Cheers

    Yea thats all you need. The four hyper axis use the 48v for power and the 24v for the controller. The scn6 uses the 24v for both power and controller.
