    Hi, kubing!
    How can I get a HEX-file for PIC18F2550?
    Is there an open source project for the 16F887 or 18F2550?

    Hi!
    There are still questions.
    Why on board three variables resistor?
    How to connect to the controller two variable resistors (sensors with motor shaft). As these sensors are connected? When lifting platform, the sensor should go more or less volts?
    What resistor values?
    Who can answer these questions. I would be grateful.
    Thank you.

    I am not certain, but I can guess that the three potentiometers are for tweaking the PID gains (kp, ki, and kd respectively). As for your question about the open source project, are you asking for an IDE? I've been using mplab without issue with my PIC18F4550 projects. If you mean his source code I can't speak for him, but it'd probably be worth sending him a PM.

    after 544 downloaded from version 1.1 since last year. No one come up with any respond. I consider the code is not working on other machine.

    Love the project kubing! :cheers:

    Anyway you could post a build of materials and a hex file?
    Do you happen to have a PCB layout so others and I can make the board?

    Do you know if I can use Tronicgr’s analog converter to get a 0 – 10v analog output?
    I want to play with some big AC stuff 8)

    http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/tro...er-with-pwm-servo-output-t559-620.html#p14488

    Anyway – I sure appreciate you hard work.
    Can you tell us any details of the BuduFSX controller?

    Thanks Allot!

    This is just a part of my hobby. Its really fun. I really need to confirm this code is working on others thats all. Its not worth to invest your money and time on something not working. please invest your money on tested and proved project by many. thank you. :)

    I do all this for fun too!

    I already have a working scn5 simulator.
    I have built Tronic’s AMC and the DSMhb, I have even built 2 Rock’n’Ride controllers – lol

    I really believe a simple to build controller will really help the community along!
    Just like the one you have built!

    Need testing? – That’s what we are here for :cheers:

    Anyway, please think about letting some people test the controller, It realty Looks Great!

    Well you have my attention, I run the pololu jrk for simplicity, as the tronic card looked difficult with producing circuit boards and sourcing parts.
    The Arduino has code issues but potential.
    If you guys are developing a board that could run either 12v at say 50amps and or 24 volts at 30amps, I would be interested in trialing one. I am code illiterate so that would have to be sorted first, or at least a base line I could figure out.
    PM me if you wish to talk further about it, I will donate towards the cost.
    Cheers, David.

    Hi Kubing , I have not had time to test your firmware on pic2550, I'll do a test with the circuit and the Hbridge by Tronicgr, on this holiday ...

    Hi, kubing!
    Can I get a HEX-file for PIC18F2550 2dof too ? I am testing it and writing you about result. Thank you for your work.

    Hi, I'm building a controller with an ATMEGA 8535, I wish I could do it with a PIC because I know more and Argentina are easier to obtain. I want to pass information to build the controller with PIC 18F2550.
    greetings and thanks
