Here is what I have reverse engineered so far: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/Shizuoka/00001-1a.jpg http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/Shizuoka/Shizuoka_Step_Drv-1a.png It seems the common transistors are on the high side and the other coil wires sink to ground. Each common or coil transistor in the picture is a pair of the same physical size, which seem to be wired as a Darlington. I haven't sorted out the coil control circuits yet. I am still trying to figure out if I need the inhibit signals which seem to turn off whatever is on a little bit early. If may traces are correct then there would also be of pulses in the middle of the high periods. I'll be working on this more. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration Shizuoka ST-N/Bandit CNC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
