    @Igorhr
    I only changed the layout, if it worked with the original AMC it will work for sure!
    Please post your connection in a new thread, I would like to see it, sounds like others could use it too.
    And save some doh on a serial converter!

    I dont know on what connection you mind...I was make some sketch
    how I was connect AMC board with my motherboard and simulator .
    All work OK and KP settings with terminal also work OK

    For programming ATmega I use standard serial cable.
    I did not try use similarly solution with other DB9 programming port, but
    once is ATMEGA is programmed, you dont need that port....

    My intend is to put AMC board and Hbride in my PC case.
    So, I was disassemble tree old CDs and I will install inside AMC borad, h-bridhe and
    on a top two FANs and that is reason why I was looking for a solution
    to make all connections simplify
    regards
    igor

    @ igorhr

    Please note, that you are using the max232 circuit on the original AMC.
    This is not on the ~EZ~ version, instead it uses a serial to usb adapter.

    You could build the max232 circuit on a separate board if you wanted to, and attach it all like in the pic.
    But it would be al lot easier to use the converter.

    Hi dualin,

    I don't seem to see the manual for this H-Bridge.
    If you can find and post a link to the H-Bridge manual i will look it over for you. :cheers:

    Happy day, I will be building many of the pwm to analog EZ boards. Please post dimensions for the PCB. Blessing to all, John

    Yobuddy, when printed at 100% the pcb is tiny. No way a 1/4 watt resistor would fit. At 150 % it may work. Please, could someone give actual size?

    Before etching starts, is there a pwm to analog shield for arduino out there? Just want a clean install.

    Yobuddy, Is there a circuit schematic for the pwm analog EZ available? I have sinister plans.

    @MagicEdge , just the layout sorry buddy.
    I do have a all in one VFD add-on PCB from speed's design I'm working on too.
    Should be done soon.

    Guys,I see the pwm wires here connecting to the pwm to analogue convertor,but where are the direction wires?

    @Llewelyn,
    0v up to 5v left, 5v center, above 5v to 10v is right.
    Take care,

    Okay thanks,so that means the direction wires from the arduino are not needed,just the pwm wire connected to the PWM to analogue convertor and that causes changes in direction from voltage changes 0-10v.
