WB V2 hookup?

[Garry]

Hm -- guess Paul can say whether all the gnd-pins on V2 are connected and therefore interchangeable ... can't you use AD1 instead of AD2 of V1?

Perhaps?
I will reverse the polarity on the plug to favor V2 and try it to see if V1 AD1 will play.
It now occurs to me that I may have to reconfigure PIDs to tailor outputs.

I wired a 2-way orange plug for AD1 on V1;
then this can be plugged into any AD1-4 on V2;

but so far I only used AD1 on V2.

I think the V2 AD ground pins are all separate
(they are not really grounds, but rather are analog signal "references" or "returns";
think about this: what would happen if the analog signal you were monitoring was referenced to some voltage other than ground...).

Joecar, I think you may be on to something. My 2 LC-1's responded interestingly. I tried the "V1 shared ground" approach on V2 and it just didn't work for my 2 LC-1's. I Seperated the grounds and it still did'n't work totally correct untill I matched the correct LC-1 Analog input to it's ground. I know this may sound a little crazy ??

Not sure it's a "reference" but I know there is voltage in there. then again it's not uncommon to see some.

I use AD1 and AD2 on V2. I have also tried using AD1 or AD2 and they work work fine if they are grounded correctly.

here is a pic of Dual LC-1 hookups (Brown wires are gounds).

Well, I just tried the two prong plug with ground on left and it works on AD1 on V1 fine. On V2 it works only on AD1 not on AD2-4.

My goal is met, but there must be some V2 configuation or PID selection issues to select corresponding inputs or else how would you run two 5 volt devices ?
Thanks all!

Bruce, not sure what you mean about running 2 5 volt inputs. I am doing that right, albiet I could have a newer release.

And soon I'll be running 3 5v devices
