[TenTec] Paragon II and 301 Remote

[Steve Garwood]

Mike,

I tried several speakers first, from a four inch to an 8 inch bass reflex.
Same results - the 301 had no function.

When I look at the schematic on the Paragon II, the DB-25 connector does not
have +5VDC showing, I can bring that to the connector.  The A/B pins don't
look to be supported on the Paragon II, at least not by name on the print.  

I need to trace what the A/B pins hook to in the Omni VI and see if I can
duplicate that on the Paragon II....

Steve,

get +5 to it

then use you scope on the "A" output.

with each turn, you should see a square wave as the encoder sends out a
quadrature pulse. This pulse will be 90 deg out of phase with the "B"
output.

that way the logic knows what way the encoder is turning

you should see both quadrature pulses as you turn the knob, if you use both
channels of your scope.

Not sure, but if the pulses look a bit fuzzy, you might need a 10K pull up
on the output to square 'em up

But I'd try another speaker first

A man with one clock knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never
sure.
