Gary: the list you sent me to troubleshoot my issue was great. I did not have to remove the pivot plate. I lifted it up and it sprang down. Now the power does not cut out as it used to. Must have been

Just an FYI. Steve's scope is vintage '07. I don't know if it has the redundancy spring I added to the design of the PGB system. Nor has it ever been 'cleaned' (over time it's good to take the ground

Another point. The power source may not be the issue . Voltage drop is another cause. This can happen from a high res joint or the size cable doesnt match the current that is being drawn. . Cheers

Buster, I didn¡¯t think about the ¡°jumper cables¡± route. (Maybe because I am a software guy, not hardware). I still need to make a cable with the right connector to go in to the powered ground

Too much unnecessary work removing the batt. A combination of jumper cables, gator clips, cig lighter plugs and wire will easily work to test and be a 12V backup power plan. Obsessions are made to be

Buster, I¡¯m not sure how I can hook up the battery to the receptacle in the powered foot. I¡¯d need to build a cable to do that. And then figure out how to get the battery out from under the

Understand,but you don¡¯t quite, your brick can be marked anything but it may not now be putting out the Umph it did before. Simple test is to use a known good battery like your car has to double

Good morning... I Googled "Power Brick" and get all kinds of hits on this that are not a 15v 6a device. This is one of the things I dislike about the Internet. People can buy a priority placement of

Hi Wes, It does appear to be a power issue. When slewing with both motors at the same time, in slow speed, it is successful. Using full speed does stall. We run on 110v grid power, not a battery, Gary
