Those little boards must have been custom made to control the stepper motorOk, thanks! I've never seen one wired up like that. I'm not sure how that would work on a Vision since Vision's have the stepper motors and home sensors and stuff. Interesting! Thanks! Sorry for being nosey, I like light bars and try to learn as much as I can.
It could have started its life as a vision or the end tags could have been switched out. Those controllers could not control a stepper motor though. They are pulse-width modulators to control the speed of a standard rotator. A stepper motor requires multiple wires for the different positions, nowhere near enough wires coming from that set up to control stepper Motors.Those little boards must have been custom made to control the stepper motor
Sorry I gave it back, each pod had 4 wires, so so must have been vector pods, on a vision chassis.Exactly, that's why I was wondering if you had a picture of the actual lights. The standard motors look the first picture below and the "smart pods" look like the other pictures. If that light bar only had the standard motors it's a vector. If it had two of these smart pods it's a smart-vector and if all seven pods had these smart pods it was a vision. I don't see how those would control a stepper motor or run the home sensors either. Do you remember which style pods (or how many of each) it a had?
