dieselsmoke, hope you can follow this:Got my Shark Buck today, thanks Wayne.
Given the above external pot, once I remove the trim pot, do the three wires on the external pot need to go to particular solder points on the driver ?
thanks for the help.
- Locate the three solder pads under the on-board trimpot. Viewing the Shark from the component side with the pads at lower right, you will see that the larger central wiper pad connects to the top soldering hole just to the right. There are two smaller pads under the large pad. The lower right pad connects to the lower right soldering hole, and the lower left pad does not connect to any hole.
- Connect the pads to the external pot. Viewing the pot with the shaft at top and the leads facing you, connect the large wiper pad (or top right hole) to the center pot lead, the lower right pad (or lower right hole) to the left lead, and the lower left pad to the right lead. I find it just as easy to solder to the pad as to the hole. The wires do not pass any current, so I use very thin flexible wire, 30 ga or so.
