THC questions

Yeah it is tied to 24VDC+, .Pin 14 to 24VDC+ and Pin 12 to a Input on the 7i76e.

I would recommend putting the THCAD in your control box. Be sure to power it from 5 volt from the mesa card.

Could I use a step down power supply (similiar to fabricator's 24v to 5v) connected to the same power supply that the Mesa is connected to? Or must the 5v come directly from the Mesa card?

You can use a step down transformer like I have done but I am having some issues when the temperature in my workshop gets over 32 degrees and it might be caused from the step down transformer.

When I get a spare minute I plan to rewire my THCAD power to come from one of the 5VDC power sources on the 7i76e.

You have to stop making the same post across multiple threads. It makes it very difficult for us to follow along and help you.

My bad. Shall I continue here, or there?
