Controller hardware suggestions for first DIY build

We speak Albanian, it definitely has no similarities to any other language. You can hear that often in new movies they use us as bad guys and i do not blame them. ! Just have a look at Taken.

:laugh: I will have to watch that movie again.

Oh he was mild compared to our criminals!

War criminals?

The Kosovo War is/was very under reported in the states. To this day I rarely see anything about it, documentaries and such, when compared to other conflicts around the world. Now I want to research it.

Don't bother, it is over now !
It was messed up, badly, the whole ex Yugoslavia was a terrible mess. FYI, as luck would have it, i was in Croatia when the war started there, so till now i survived 2 f@kin wars !
Happy thoughts .....

Damn, that is hardcore. I hope life is better now than ever for you.

Yes it is, although it was much better when i was young, i did not have to work, i spent all days and nights building electronics ... stuff !

The spaceship is awesome! Also, FWIW, I enjoy telling my coworkers that I chatted with 'the Australian' and he explained it like this... me doing my best Australian accent

Would you mind sanity checking this for me? The blue and brown are the 24+ and 24- ... does it matter which is which? The black is the output wire that connects to the input on the Mesa card, right?

I am going to take the field wiring from the Mesa 7i76e and connect it to the Mesa din mounted 'common' bus bars. Then I will connect those bus bars to the 24v PSU. AND THEN I will connect these blue and brown wires to the 'common' bus bars, sound good?

Yes prox sensors go blue to negative, brown to positive and black to mesa input.

Thanks for you comments re the spaceship. Spaceship Mk2 is evolving slowly.



Very cool. Not my fingers BTW.

As for Tommy, he is fluent in so many languages, it will take you all day to insult him!

To clean ???
Yeah, but getting rusty as i have no way of using them here, and since i can not travel, not really learning any other.
For reference: Albanian (native), Serbo-Croatian, English (of course), German, Czech, and a bit of Italian, very little Turkish and Bulgarian.

So a prox sensor needs +24v and -24v

I don't mean to be overly pedantic here but that would be 48V on the sensor. So just for the record -24V is not the same as 0V.
But yes I do realize that you mean the negative terminal of the 24V DC supply.
