    Ok, because the idea is to control motors, 3 which will rotate 3 different axes, Yan, Roll and Pitch, a circle in a circle, in a circle, I simplify.

    Using with DCS ! you see ?

    Yes, sure, but how you are going to deal with the cabling twisting? Each servomotor needs to be attached to servo drive with power cable and encoder cable... also each servo driver needs a DB25 cable to the AMC-AASD15A controller.

    Even if all is somehow wired (wireless obviously :p ) you still have the power source issue...

    I placed back in stock a few more pieces as I was getting them ready, and were sold out just an hour later. Sign up for the waitlist to get notified automatically when they are back in stock.

    I'm trying my best to have them in stock for longer each time.

    If you are in urgent hurry, maybe you can try ordering from PT-ACTUATOR:

    guys, quick question as i haven't found an answer in the manual (i believe it's worth adding):
    what kind of LEDs can be connected to the controller? i have DC 12v ones, will they fit or will i smoke something? i understand it's powered by USB so 5v only...

    hiya @pooh thanos will give proper explanation , but i think youll find that these are low powered 5Vdc led's as the current supplied via usb to amc AASdDboard is limited, the other option is to use relays and seperate power supply where the control signals from the AMC are used to triger the relevant releay/ Light option ...thier is a Wiring diagram showing this on his Githun ...i dont have link at moment but suspect it will be the same place you got the diagram you posted .... Wiat for Thanos to give you proper advice though :)

    No you can't use 12v leds connected directly on the AMC-AASD15A controller only 5v leds (or 3v leds with 470ohm resistors), but perhaps you can use some drivers if you absolutely need to use 12v leds. See this diagram:

    Just received the PT actuators and AMC AASD15A boards - will need help in next coming days to help with set up and initial test runs!

    Depends how soon you need it. If you are not in hurry you can just get it from my Tindie store with USPS First Class international (currently can take 6 weeks to deliver).
    https://www.tindie.com/products/tronicgr/amc-aasd15a-servo-motion-controller/

    Or you can email me and do direct order and use a faster shipping forwarding service like the MyUS ( https://www.myus.com/uk/ ). I don't charge shipping fees to the forwarder, and as soon it arrives to their location in Florida, you can choose what delivery courier you want, like Fedex, DHL etc)
