k6ccc Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I see no one has answered this. I have not powered up my Servo Dog since I got it, but maybe I'll pull it out this afternoon and play with PWM on it. I'll let you know what I find. It did not appear to be very hard from the manual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 OK. Fired up my Servo Dog and hooked up a 12V LED string. No problem at all. Worked just like I expected. Here are the connections.First of all, power connections from power supply:+12 Volt DC to V+ screw terminalGround to the "G" screw terminalThen the connections to the LEDs:+ side is connected to the V+ screw terminal- side is connected to the M1 (for channel 4) screw terminal.All there is to it.

-klb- Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 One more thought. If my recolection is correct, and you are using one of the channels I did, be sure you have used the servo dog utility to configure the channel for dimming, instead of servo control. Is set for servo, it will faintly light a led, and nothing at all for an incandescent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mair Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 OK, Heres an update for yall.ummm i wired up the SD to a 12vdc walwart put crossed the positive and negative , the board smoked OMG quickunpluged it. Wired it correctly hooked a cat five cable to it an fired up the SD utility it recognizedthe SD (good for me) set channel 4 n 5 to chase that worked. Then i set them diim and that worked. I thenfigured what the heck may as well hook up my 6 servo skull and write a sequence to HO HO HO Merry Christmas.Hooked up the servo's and fired up SDU one servo twitchedan then the board went dark, checked the walwart it was dead hooked up another one after confirming it workedand nothing.
