[QUOTE="ArloG, post: 1161781, member: 418555"] Here. Eliminate the confusion and hacking the v-box circuitry. The hall, optical, [I]and [/I]reed switches simply supply a switch closure. The hall and optical switches need typically 5 VDC to operate. I'm not sure why R3 would need shunted. As it was mentioned probing the pc board and finding 5 volts to tap off and plus 5 volts ground should be good enough. Unless shunting R3 would indeed provide a solid ground. I guess. Everyone has a junk drawer full of wall wart USB 4.5 - 5 volt cell chargers. And the thing about using one is they are short circuit proof. The attached diagram solves cracking the v-box open and soldering jumpers to supply pixies to the actuator encoder. [/QUOTE]
