Yes, your are right chilly1, that´s the way it works, at least for now.
However, i´ll came up with new firmwares soon, so we can prevent any further troble..
Cheers

Thanks alot Golden Eagle for the diagram. So I need then an inlet on my phase change case to plug the CPU psu into instead of having it normally plugged into the wall?
Thanks again GEagle that diagram was a big help:toast:
How much is the Xe version? :-)
And how do I mount it on a mach II??
Just a quick question, where are you all getting the transformers for these? I can't seem to find a 120v to 15v transformer.
just look in your yellow pages for electrical retailers or something along those lines. Mine is 120vac to 16vdc.
BTW Carlz0r. am I right about using an outlet on my case to plug in the cpu psu?
Yes, that is correct.Quote:

Ok so I have the XE 1.2 and everything is working. Where do I get the software for it? Can I just plug the serial port into my expert? I want to change some settings.
Also what cables can and cannot be extended. My sensor wire and my power and serial wires are not long enough. What can I do.
Will extending the sensor wire change it's reading?
Send a pm to Golden_Eagle about technical questions, send me a pm for soft and installation pdf
Woot! G-Froster arrived today :D Perfect condition, and great packaging. Thanks guys! :)
Thats great man
I forgot to tell you that I received today a mail from the canadian company telling me that :D
Wheres my 20 units???
Those look pretty cool. Nicely done.
I have a quick question. Since the g-froster changes the voltage from ac to dc afterwards, can I use a 16v dc adapter instead of an AC adapter with it? I have one of them laying around here.
EDIT: Well, after thinking it through, and checking the electronics on the board itself, it should (and does) work. But, I have a problem with the pc to g-froster communications. I get an error message:

so it turns out I need a new transformer. I've found a 18vdc plug in adapter, however when I take the voltage reading it reads 23vdc. I know the'yre always a little higher then what their rated for, but is that too high? Apparently anything between 15and18vdc are really hard to find. What type do you use Ssilencer?
I use 7.5+7.5v.
23vdc is a ittle too much, but it depends how did you measure that, if it's 23v rms it is ok, but try to get that 7.5+7.5 or 9+9v
See if you can add me and contact me by msn msporta@cvtci.com.ar
I know this will sound strange, but the easiest way to locate a 15-18v AC transformer is from a model train supplier.
They use 15-18v AC and their suppliers can normally source 9V AC transformers as well.
If you call a good model train shop, it's very likely they will be able to get you exactly what you need.
Approx. 20VA minimum for the 15-18v, and 6VA minimum for the 9V ac transformers.
Hope it helps.

BTW. We will have front pannels to be included on both, the value 2.0 and xe 2.0
We will have some pics of front pannel prototype next week ;)
I want 20 of teh ver 2 instead of teh ver 1
Not ready yet, front pannel prot. next week.
We have to check with you the specs of the new xe as you know.
Was just reading over this post and for the transformer in the US if you go to a hardware store or electric suppuly and ask for a DOOR BELL transformer you'll get what you want, I Think they are 16vac at 10va transformer but the whole door bell kit is only like $20 U.S. and there is also a door bell transformer that has an amp rating of 8-16-20vac at 20va I think the voltages are right been a while since I've put one in.
those are ac tho, we need dc for these units:(
Actually, AC or DC will work. It's actually meant to take AC.Quote:
