Hey everyone, I'm new here and am a Mechanical so I know very little about this subject and am hoping to find my answer here.
So I'm replacing an old control system with a new one, the only problem is the pot's seem to give different ranges. When 5vdc is applied the output on the old controller gives from 2vdc full rev, 2.5vdc neutral, 3vdc full ahead.
I tested the new controller and w/ 5vdc applied it gives 1 vdc full reverse, 2.5 vdc neutral, and 4 vdc full ahead. The problem is the controller is expecting of an input range from 2-3 w/ 2.5 being neutral and the new controler is giving off 1-4.
Is there any way to scale back the input while keeping 2.5vdc as the center voltage?
Thanks!
Chris
