IOT Relay Control with X-Controller

At the very least, the instructions should be modified to show what full seat looks like and indicate that the retainer clips being upright is not enough for a full seat. This has been a pretty common problem here recently with new people assembling the Xcontroller.

I’ve been building computers for many years, and I don’t remember ever having such problems with installing ribbon cables, especially ones with retainers. When they were fully seated, there was definitely a click.

Just for the record, my comments weren’t directed at you at all. I’m in 100% agreement with you. There should be some sort of indication that full seat has been achieved or at least something to reference what full seat is.

No offence. I fully understand what you meant. I’m reasonable experienced, and I blew it. I definitely appreciate the help from everyone. It got me carving again.

When you test the IOT with the 9V battery, should the spindle only turn while the 9 volt is connected?

[GerryKaslowski]

Yes

Hello, I just received the IOT relay controller and realized I have the 1st gen. X-Carve. Has anyone wired the controller to this panel?

Wiring a solid state relay

I can’t really take a usable picture as the relay is at the bottom of my enclosure, So, that being said, using the relay at the bottom of this post to start and stop my Dewalt with my G-Code…here is how I have wired it up: On the power supply where I marked an “A” the positive wire goes to the Arduino header pin 11. The ground wire goes to the Arduino ground. On the power supply where I marked a “B” the positive goes to the positive relay input and the ground wire goes to the ground input on t…

What cables did you use to wire this?
