[PSUBS-MAILIST] speed controller

Yes, & my Kelly controller.I am not an expert on the RC transmitters & there are a lotof parameters you can program in for various craft.The 2 joy sticks have X & Y axis, & when set up for ailerons,middle is  neutral, up is one direction & down is the other.This I am assuming will translate to 2&1/2V = neutral 2&1/2 - 5V is forward at an incremental speed increase & 2&1/2 - 0 is reverse. If it doesn't work buy a helicopter as well!Alan

Looks like it could talk to Minn Kota motor controller via RC controller.

Cliff, Hank,I am excited about this little itemRCPWM2V PWM to Voltage Signal Converter

RCPWM2V PWM to Voltage Signal Converter
 The RCPWM2V is a device that converts a standard hobby RC signal (1-2ms pulse) into a proportional analog voltag...  |  |

It plugs in to a radio control receiver & outputs 0-5V.You would just need a RC transmitter & receiver (under $100-)& one of these units ($30- per thruster) to add remote control to your submarine thrusters. Very handy for trailer launching. You probably willhave to program in a few things on the RC transmitter but anykid you know that's in to RC could do it. I am trying to order a couple to try out but the firm is Californian & only export after emailconsultation & approval.Alan

MINN KOTA FORTREX MAIN CONTROL BOARD PN# 2264054 24/36V , http://www.ebay.com/itm/MINN- KOTA-FORTREX-MAIN-CONTROL- BOARD-PN-2264054-24-36V-/ 371716842908?hash= item568c0ce59c:g: VxAAAOxyXDhSpea4&vxp=mtr
Easy to wire.  Two wires from battery connect via 1/4" spade connectors and 10 AWG wire.  Two wires to DC motor again connected with two 1/4" spade connectors.  IF you use the potentiometer that is on the board, that's it.  When the potentiometer is in the centralized potion, the motor is off.  Pot is non linear so lots of control at low speed.  If you want to control through a PLC, all you have to do is cut the leads from the pot and have the PLC send a 0-5vdc signal.  0v is full one way, 2.5V is off and 5vdc is full the opposite direction.  That is it.  Very easy to wire.

Hi Cliff,One time you posted the part number for eBay for the speed controller you use.  Can you re-post that, and do I need to be an electrical engineer to hook it up ;-)  Thank you CliffHank
