    the 12V battery will be useful to prevent the ATX power supply is safekeeping because of peak amperage during sudden changes in direction of the motors

    That the movement is only in the graph when i manually move the pot. I want to move them with the movement of the motor

    Today I want to move up and down to the max and min jejej

    P.D: sorry i read again my last post and i didn´t tell that i made it manually. Without movement of the motor

    what do you means by pot you talk about the slider 21 or the potentiometer ?
    When you move the slider 21 in the test panel, is the motor respond ?

    pot is the potenciometer. When i move the slider 21 in the testplugin the motor doesn´t respond, but i have seen an error in the configuration here

    In the output axis direct i have select K8055 analog Output 1 and now it works. When i move the slider 21 in testpanel the motor moves
    Here is a video (sorry the quality)
    http://youtu.be/68DUd_XS2yA

    But now the next step is moving the motor and the pot as the same time and stop when the get the max and min position. I think this is more difficult
    How I make it?

    effectively there was an error between the analog and digital output! Sorry, I looked but not seen the error. Though I've recently been confronted with a member of my forum who had done exactly the same mistake!

    I saw your picture where your potentiometer is connected to the motor shaft so what's the problem? it must turn at the seam time as the motor ! no ?

    check the box invert reference input and do a test. I looked at your picture and I saw that there was an inversion of polarity of your potentiometer. Current real value is greater than maximum. This is not normal. ;)

    I changed that value and now max is the top of the pot and min is the bottom. I have quit and put invert reference input and nothing. It din´t stop the motor. Do you make the test in testplug or in other side?. I´m thinking than in testpage we are saying the motor to move one or other direction but nothing that make top up and down (only stops with slider in the middle)? or this is the job the config of max and min in the other part of x-sim program.
    I don´t know really what is happening

    I just take the test. the slider represents the position of the motor. If the slider is positioned at the top, the engine must be in the up position. If the slider is in the down position the engine must be down and when the slider is in the center position the engine must be in the center position.
    check your wiring, is that the potentiometer is connected to the correct input of your card Velleman? can you make a video of the Velleman demo program showing that when you operates an analog output1, analog input 1 is moving at the same time?

    one question. When in calibration I put the pot to max and min position i have do it with the motor, but which parameter tells the motor this is your position?

    yes you have to do it with the motor! motor and potentiometer need to be assembled. try to do a better fixation even if it is temporary

    ok but there are 2 different things aren´t they?

    One i have to make 2 speeds, but i was testing with one to proob and them create the other.
    But the other thing it is that the calibration with both parts (motor and pot)

    Tomorrow i have work ;)
