Feedback Potentiometer wiring in Analog Mode

When the controller is configured in Analog mode, the analog inputs 1 and 2 are used for commands while the analog inputs 3 and 4 are used for feedback. Analog inputs 3 and 4 have different characteristics than inputs 1 and 2, and so require a lower resistance poten- tiometer in order to guarantee accuracy

Note that the analog inputs 3 and 4 are only available on the AX3500 with PCB revision 3.0 or above. The revision number is marked on the PCB. Roborun will detect the new hard- ware revision and display Rev B on the screen.

Important Notice

This wiring is also the one to use when the controller is in Analog mode but switched to RS232 after reset using the method discussed in “Entering RS232 from R/C or Analog mode” on page 140
