Panel Mounted Speed Regulator Module?

I think he needs to watch the videos I suggested or stop playing with electronics.

"You don't solder the PVC insulation, you solder the wire it is insulating."

Precisely my point, and why solder wasn't used. The cable already has mini in-ports in a plastic socket unit.

Methinks we have someone here who hasn't got a blooming clue.

Should you be fiddling with things like this if you don't know how to use a basic multimeter to do basic things?

It might be an idea to put it away until you've got a bit more understanding of circuits etc.

Which cable?

The one from the adapter, i.e. the one where you said you cut the plug off?

Or the one going into the speed controller, which according to the manual for it does not exist?

Cable coming from adapter.

Motor unit now up & running.

I hates soldering

It's a simple enough procedure. I suggest you learn to do it right if you want to play around with this stuff.

Is there a link or thread for this or need I start a fresh thread please? I have iron and solder, I never mastered 'tinning', I can solder two wires together but the joint will be blackened & brittle. I would love to be able to solder well however.

Soldering irons may also have improved since I bought mine of course, which was over a decade ago.

Best thanks.

I've just put this in the Wiki, so I thought I'd add a link to the recent posts on soldering conductors together.
