Looks like Alltrax need to do a little work on the screen layouts in the Toolkit. There is an unreadable line between the Model: and the Serial:. (My guess is Revision: 1) Also, on the Throttle Settings screen, there is a column to the right of the graph that is probably labeled "Linearized Throttle Position (%)", but label is truncated and cropped. Also noted that the Pre-Charge resistor has been eliminated from the schematics in the paper copy of the Operators Manual and mentioned in the text. Looks like they need to update the documents on their website also. FWIW: They explain in the manual's text that the pre-charge is done via the Run/Tow switch. (One question that I was going to ask Alltrax crossed off my list. ) Also discovered that the scroll wheel on the mouse will change settings, so we will have to be very careful not to make unintentional changes when programming. ---------- When powered from a computer via a USB connection, The LED blinks green four times, pauses and repeats. Four blinks is for ITS throttle type, but without all of the high current cables and control harness plugs connected, it isn't ready for operation, so (hopefully) that is why it doesn't go to steady green. |

Re: New xct400pds
The scroll button will change settings if you click on a line item but - those changes are lost when you change page or close the program unless you click save & wait for the save button to return to original color before proceeding .

Re: New xct400pds
jb, try changing the resolution of your computer screen. Sometimes when developers write the code to display pages they forget there are other resolutions out there and stuff gets cropped. Read that as they set a page width for the popup window with no scroll bars and the text is too large to fit in that window..

I'm in my verify and validate mode with the controller, manuals and programming toolkit, so I'll be picking nits. |

Re: New xct400pds
I bought a PDS golf cart. I think it needs an upgrade

Re: New xct400pds
Okay cart's home and I'm looking at the install for JohnnieB who did not get the optional mounting adapter. I'm almost certain that after he sees this post he will be saying "optional my arse!" based on his messages.
I wanted some pics for the net so I cheated. I pulled a stock TXT heat sink controller mount unit from the shelf for these pics. So no upside down dark pics. I have 2 of the Universal mount sold by Alltrax, thanks to my friend Ron who put 2 XCT controls in his buddies' Yamahas but, made his own aluminum mount on his own CNC. He did a beautiful job too. So enough jabber - on to the pics which tell the rest of the story and - yes Johnnie, your mount is flying out of CA tonight via priority mail |

Re: New xct400pds
Nice.
Now we have to figure out how and where to mount the solenoid. |

What comes to mind is using a couple of longer 1/4-20 bolts attaching the XCT to the mounting adapter and mount a flat piece on metal an inch or so wide and about 6" wide on those two threaded studs, sandwiched between jam-nuts to hold it sufficiently high above the controller for wiring access. The mount the solenoid on the piece of flat metal. If flattened and trimmed, the bracket I'm now using might work. ---------- I see what might be an air flow issue in the way the XCT is mounted in the picture you posted. Hot air rises and from what I can tell, the optional fan would be at the top end, blowing downward, against the natural convection flow. Fortunately, it looks like the fan can be taken out of its shroud and reinstalled so it draws air upwards. |
