Hi and thanks,
The photo tutorial covered the points needed (value of pots and the D connector). After all my browsing I never came across that page at all.....
I can understand that the pots and D connector may not be part of the main build and are optional and for future expansion but it seems odd to have pointed everyone one to a panel design that has 5 holes in it and no mention anywhere (except the aforementioned tutorial) as to why they are there or that you can just plug them....
Anyway, that seems all resolved now.
if I may ask just one further question, is there any schematics relating to the power supply section and its options? It would be really useful to actually see what the board has in that area and for those that can read them, make the selection easier. I want to run from a single AC supply with 8580 chips so I am guessing option C but some technical details in that area would not go amiss.
