Hi all,
simple question is it an issue if I have a contactless gear potentiometer which has a voltage dropping from 4.5 v on reverse to around 0,5V on 6th gear ?
I will use delay only for cut (Open Loop).
the potentiometer is only for gear dependant cut times.
if it is not an issue I will only have to write the correct values in sensor scaling am i wrong ?
Thanking you all for your help ?

Re: Contactless Gear Potentiometer
I think the voltages all need to be all up or down and in sequence. Have to ask why would not want to use closed loop?

Re: Contactless Gear Potentiometer
The voltages must go up for 1 to 6.
You will need to rotate the pot until the voltages do this.

Re: Contactless Gear Potentiometer
Can you reverse the wiring on the pot so voltages increase ?
if not, get a more suitable pot. It would be very odd for voltages to decrease as gears increase, that is not the norm.

Re: Contactless Gear Potentiometer
hi Alex, stevie and rob,
thanks for the quick reply but unfortunately on the contactless Potentiometer we can't exchange the +5V and ground wires to reverse the signal.
it may be interesting to add it in future developpments.
If i activate the option switch for start pot to finish will i be able to tick the box reverse pot voltage ?

Re: Contactless Gear Potentiometer
yes, just select reverse voltage, no need for development. yes pot to finish works like this

Re: Contactless Gear Potentiometer
Hi
Good news I have contacted SADEV de gearbox Manufacturer and their contactless potentiometers are 4 wires and the fourth one (not connected by default on the 3 pin connector) is the one with the reverse signal.
So I think everything will be Ok after rewiring the connector.
thanks again for all your help !!!!!!!

Re: Contactless Gear Potentiometer
there's no need to change the connector, just select reverse voltage!
