I was successfully opterating an Actuonix Linear Actuator Control Board with
an Actuonix P16 Linear Actuator, 200mm, 256:1, 12V w/ Potentiometer Feedback → connected to X2 Pin 2 an 3.
Power supply is a 12V power adapter → connected to X6 Pin 1 and 2. The input signal is a 5V signal, coming from an USB port, converted to 3,3V with a
DC Voltage Regulator Module 5/3.3V 6A → connected to X6 Pin 1 and 5.
→ up to now everything was running fine.
By coincidence I forgot to switch on the 12V power supply, but the 3,3V input signal was supplied to the board.
Since this event, the LAC board seems to be “crashed”. If I supply the 12V to the actuator directly, it´s working fine, so the problem must be the LAC board.
→ Could you please explain to me, if the LAC board is really broken now? Or is there any possibility to fix that?
I cannot access the board via USB, because I cannot find a windows driver for WIN10 (only WIN8.x available).
All my PCs are running on WIN10.
The status is correct. If I connect power there is no LED lighted. If I activate the 3,3V input signal, the LED is permanently green.
Yes I´ve bought all parts at RobotShop.
Thank you for your hint, to get in contact with Actuonix directly. I´ve just watched an introduction video at the actuonix page; in this video they describe, if you disconnnect all power supplies set all 4 potis P1-P4 to MAX, an then reconnect power, the board performs a reset. → after that everything was working fine again :-).
